Yes, because rebuilding against fam right now would mean that GNOME 2.10
would have to go into testing together with KDE, which also has packages
that depend on libfam0.  It will be far easier to coordinate getting all
of these updates into testing if we don't have to have all of GNOME and
KDE both ready to go in at once.
