Hi all,

as someone already mentioned, the development of poco happened in
experimental in the last year. I never did upload to unstable because
there was a problem with reverse-deps and the boost libraries.
Although I stopped uploading to experimental some months ago, it still
builds fine and contains a lot of patches (some submitted upstream).

I'll try to fix the ftbfs for the version of poco in unstable and make
an upload as soon as possible.

Thanks,
