This is an APT feature; it insists on having consistent and correct
dependencies. It also leaves you kind of scrod if you have a package
that won't install. But that's what you get for living on the
bleeding edge; if you're tracking unstable, this sort of problem
shouldn't faze you at all.
(FWIW, I got around this issue by just installing libao0, since I
didn't have anything else that depended on it. If you have pyao or
mpg321, though, this won't work for you.)
