The C++ transition has some of the dependencies broken. For GNOME
packages, we're trying not to fix some of the dependencies because that
would delay the migration of GNOME 2.10 to testing even more than it is
now, so we're just sitting on our fixes for these problems until X and
other big packages can go into testing all at once. When this happens,
you'll see GNOME fixes at the normal pace again.

In short, patience :(
