Well, wanting to keep (and fix) RC-buggy geda 1.6 in wheezy and
uploading a new upstream to unstable (currently stuck in NEW) contradict
each other.

I have prepared a NMU 1:1.6.2-4.3 cherry-picking gregoa's patch.
Once that has passed my piuparts tests I'll upload it to DELAYED/2.
Patch attached.

What can be done to block/cancel/reroute-to-experimental the 1.8.x
packages currently in NEW? This would allow getting this fix via sid
and avoiding the t-p-u road.
