This is not happening for Sarge. We don't have time, the situation is
complicate enough to get remaining GNOME parts in testing and the
autobuilders are already much overloaded.

Read the bug report, he's waiting on Josselin's opinion (Josselin made
the dh_gconf patch for the schemas move) and he thinks it'll not happen
at time for Sarge.

This bug is not about your understanding of the packaging but your
understanding of what an useful bug report is. Mass flooding with such
bug report will not help to fix it. That's not doable for Sarge now and
this will be automatically fixed some times after the dh_gconf change.
Instead of filing 50 bug reports now you should better wait for the
dh_gconf change, wait 2-3 months so most of the packages will have a
rebuild and you can fill some bugs for the remaining bug. *That* would
be an useful way to tackle this problem.
