Will do, as soon as the reverse dependencies are resolved, but
currently it looks like this:

Checking reverse dependencies...
# Broken Depends:
dmedia: python-dmedia


So I'll clone this bug to dmedia, as python-dmedia needs to stop
depending on desktopcouch first.


BTW:  ubuntu-sso-client hasn't been removed, yet.  It's scheduled to
be removed (see Bug #686362 for details), but we'll wait for
desktopcouch to be solved, before removing it.


Best regards,
