Ah, apparently the answer is that a new upload of xlbiff was made that didn't include the fixed path, and the conflicts from x11-common was insufficient for this case. This was reported as bug #395927 in xlbiff, and has now been fixed in unstable in version 4.1-4; and I'm bumping the urgency of that xlbiff package so that the fix should reach testing tomorrow. That makes 396279 an issue of insufficiently tight conflicts which will not affect etch proper, so it should not be RC. Swapping bug severities accordingly.
