you all use Debian testing, you have always the option to pick obviously 
working versions from snapshot.debian.org. Or pull in required packages 
from unstable.
If you need to work with mission critical stuff please use Debian 
stable. For sure you know this.

The situation is a bit more complex, the situation in testing would not 
have happen if the time_64 transition would not have blocked a lot of 
arch related packages for good reason.

Also in the past KiCad was usable with older libraries, which seems not 
to be the case anymore. On the other hand the KiCad application could 
handle such version mismatches far better and give the user some 
feedback what happened.

Within Debian the problem is not within the kicad binary package, this 
is "usable" without the libraries, so the libraries packages need to be 
more strict now which version of kicad they are work with..
