Dear Maintainers,

I'm sure you guys are well aware of this but not of the G introspection 
packages can update without gnome-shell meeting at least 3.0.2-6 or newer.

I'll leave my complaints about glibmm 2.30 to their respective ownership 
but needless to say these to packages [along with over 50% of the 3.2.x 
upgrade is broken] and is screwing with updates in Sid when one has a 
mixed Sid/Experimental solution.

If you want people to bang on this release you're gonna have to do 
better getting the entire dependency tree updated before you start 
hitting Experimental with updates. Otherwise, it's nothing but a bunch 
of angry testers losing interest in testing Gnome 3.x.

The same crap happened in KDE 4.x and still happens. Is this everyone's 
idea of Software Quality Control? I highly doubt it.

FWIW: Once these packages get updated [with Gnome 3.0.x] I've not see 
any showstoppers. That's one of the reasons I chose Debian--it has 
better quality control than the rest of the Linux community of 
distributions.
