No, I was thinking about deliberately breaking xscreensaver by removing it. > libcapplet0 will automatically disappear once nothing in testing > depends on it any more, and its presence isn't doing any harm.

Also, somebody needs to fix gnome-pim (#201219) I'd say, Gnome-pim is obsolete for the moment and it should be removed, until the Gnome 2 port finally gets ready, which is probably quite some time ahead. Waiting for upstream to finally complete the port might further delay Gnome 2 in testing for months and months. > and > linpqa (#203053), arrange for gnome-pilot to build on arm, arrange for > gnome-pilot-conduits to build on arm and sparc, and arrange for > sylpheed-claws to build on mips and sparc.
