This is useful information. Is there any way in which the maintainers of these packages can say "yes, we know, and here is where you break the cycle" without using unmerged dpkg features or breaking the freeze? If not, now is not really the time to be doing anything about these cycles: wheezy has been frozen for well over 6 months, and maintainers who want to be able to fix 'important' bugs in wheezy are avoiding non-freeze-compatible changes to unstable. src:dbus/experimental supports being built with DEB_BUILD_PROFILE=stage1 to break the cycle involving it. At the moment you'd have to "dpkg-buildpackage -d" because dpkg doesn't yet support reducing dependencies according to build-profiles; I'll do an upload using proper build-profile syntax when it's supported in Debian, but that's rather unlikely until wheezy has been released.
