There are too many things that still need fixing with mumble at this stage for me to recommend it as a viable release candidate for wheezy. It currently FTBFS now that boost1.46 was removed, and I don't know yet if that will just need the build-dep adjusted, or actual changes to the source - which is kind of academic while it's also still blocked by the zeroc-ice ABI breakage of #672066 (which at this stage is debian specific, and we have no idea what zeroc-ice upstream is really going to do to make it work with gcc 4.7). So the best plan I have right now would be to remove mumble from testing and worry about fixing its problems in unstable with a free hand (knowing we won't be annoying the release team with large patches to review - which I'm pretty sure it's going to need still before this is all in good shape again). That will let you close this bug - and also give you the option of removing zeroc-ice too if that bug doesn't get a sane fix soon (since mumble is also its only rdep). Shipping that in its current state doesn't really seem like something I'd recommend either, but that one is less of my call to make ...
