Gmane has nothing to do with Debian. Likewise Google Groups, New
Generation and various other self-appointed "gateways".
Consider subscribing to the debian mailing lists directly instead of
using an unassociated third party. Gmane offers no advantages over
directly subscribing to the list, and all the disadvantages.
Dealing directly with the lists will, amongst other benefits, prevent
this breaking of threads that makes it harder for everyone.

What do you get from:-
# apt-get -sf install
>From your previous post:-
Consider pinning Debian Multimedia below Squeeze eg:-
Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=stable,n=squeeze,l=Debian
Pin-Priority: 700
Package: *
Pin: release v=6.0,o=Unofficial Multimedia
Packages,a=stable,n=squeeze,l=Unof
ficial Multimedia Packages
Pin-Priority: 200
That way you'll only get from Multimedia what you can't get from the
Main Debian repositories - and suffer less problems.
