Why are you backporting springgraph? (It's a free package that allows
you to format .dot files, and attempts to replace parts of the
non-free graphviz.) It's not essential to most package builds, and
certainly cdbs doesn't depend on it. For packages in unstable,
figuring out what needs to be backported/installed should mostly be a
matter of looking at the Build-Depends: line in debian/control.
