Here is an updated list of packages that would have to be fixed or
removed before gnome-doc-utils can go away. The parts in {} are my
comments and were not part of the dak output.

I'll open a bug for libgda5.

Key to my comments:

    +exp           Fixed in experimental
    unused         Build-dependency seems to be unnecessary
    !testing       Package is not in testing

smcv at coccia ~ % dak rm -R -n gnome-doc-utils
Will remove the following packages from unstable:

gnome-doc-utils |  0.20.10-5 | source, all

Maintainer: Debian GNOME Maintainers <pkg-gnome-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>
