Hi Gabriele,

sweethome3d-furniture looks pretty straight forward.  I will sponsor an
upload this week.  I haven't looked at the -nonfree package yet.

And I'm just curious here, but is it really a dependency, or should it
be a recommends?  I built the sweethome3d 3.6+dfsg-2 package removing
the dependency and it seems to start and run correctly.  If it is a
dependency, you should probably go ahead and prepare an upload for
unstable with the right dependency.  That way it will be resolved once
the -furniture package makes it through incoming.

BTW, I'm not sure I agree that #689875 is actually release-critical.
sweethome3d 3.5+dfsg-1 installs on wheezy without any problem and wheezy
is frozen.  There's not an effort to try to migrate 3.6+dfsg-2 into
wheezy, is there?  (Still, the severity is correct since 3.6+dfsg-2
can't be installed in its current state.)

Thank you,
tony
