Decoupling GNOME 2.30 transitions

[Josselin Mouette]

Hi,

since GNOME 2.30 is the target for squeeze, there are a few remaining
transitions to set up. If we do them all at once, it will become an
awful nightmare and might delay the release, so they must be sequenced
in order.

*I urge anyone maintaining packages in the following lists to not upload
these packages to unstable without double-checking with the release team
and/or the GNOME team.*

Theoretically the libxklavier and gnome-desktop transitions are coupled,
but they can easily be decoupled with an intermediate upload of
gnome-settings-daemon.

The evince and totem-pl-parser transitions are coupled through
gnome-python-desktop.


Here is the order I propose. We can start this week with the release of
GNOME 2.30.0, supposing ftp-master gets back online and packages get out
of NEW. I’d appreciate if the release team could tell when we can start
to avoid stomping on other transitions.
