The info files for melina, pgplot and r-base
all contain incorrect Depends for gcc42. These packages
should be using a BuildDepends instead and only a
Depends for gcc42-shlibs. There is no reason to Depends
on gcc42 unless the package will directly call the gcc42
compilers. This should be fixed so that users can install
gcc43 with deinstalling these programs. The best course
of action though would be to migrate all packages to
gcc43 and obsolete the gcc42 package in unstable.
I don't see a clean mechanism (or clear reason) to 
support both gcc42 and gcc43. Specifically, packages
with libraries built with gcc42 or gcc43 would require
variants (which are pointless since code generation in
gcc43 is much improved).
