the bug report (#740137) is about gnome-online-accounts and  
evolution-data-server. These two transitions where fixed after the systemd  
+ Gnome sprint. The only package i can find today is "grilo-plugins" which  
can hold the libgnome-desktop-3-10 transition. Bognor-regis will be  
removed and tracker1.0 is already up to date in unstable.
