After doing a second 'aptitude full-upgrade', the following situation occurs:

Err ok; and is that a problem?
For me, there is no problem. It is just that I find a little confusing to
receive a message such "The following packages are BROKEN: libvte4" during an
upgrade. Even if 30 lines below aptitude says that it will fix this by keeping
libvte-common to its current version.
Also I don't understand why we would have to run twice 'aptitude full-upgrade',
one just after the other, instead of having the whole upgrade done in one run.
Said that, there are surely more important thing to do at the moment for
releasing lenny.
Is it worth giving a word about this in the release-note ? Something like:
"During the full-upgrade, aptitude could complain about unmet dependencies for
the libvte4 package. Just accept that aptitude keeps libvte-common to its
current version for satisfying the libvte4 dependencies. At the end of the
upgrade, issuing a second "aptitude full-upgrade" should remove the libvte4
package and then upgrade libvte-common to its lenny version."
