Yeah, exactly. I was too late to have things sorted out with people
maintaining (or the lack of it) to have this stabilized together with
GNOME-2.16, as the biggest desktop environments need to be
revdep-rebuilt to a large extent if not using --as-needed.

I hope you guys are going to do it together with a large KDE
stabilization spree then or something. I can time GNOME-2.16.3
stabilization to the same time as well, to minimize otherwise useless
revdep-rebuilding and include this with version updates.
Some pointer to use -X (--package-names) flag for revdep-rebuild
somewhere might be a good idea.
