Bug#522554: vlc: Vlc broken dependencies in sid

Package: vlc
Version: 0.9.8a-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

After a fresh install of Debian lenny, I changed sources.list to point 
only to sid repositories replacing all "lenny" appeareance for "sid". After a
dist-upgrade, when I tried to apt-get install vlc, I get broken dependencies.
It complains about vlc-nox, that in turn complains about libass1, which does
not exist with that name in sid repositories. I had to add lenny repositories
so I could install libass1 dependency and so vlc could be installed.

I hope I explained myself well enough. Tell me if you need any more info.
This bug is reproduceable, just have only sid repositories and try to install
vlc.

Thanks,

~ Pablo.
