I'm confused that I had to do that manually as I expected that
forcemerge already does that.

Anyway: Reason why I consider this not even important is that nobody
so far checked if rebuilding aptitude against apt from experimental
would already solve the issue -- which IMHO is not that unlikely. (I
though could imagine that it may FTBFS on that occassion.)

If I find time and leisure before the Jessie release, I'll check that.
Otherwise we'll soon see after the Jessie release.
