Thanks, Jack.

For the current push to get the stable tree ready for 10.6 before  
Friday, we'll suppress all of the gcc42 and gcc43 dependent packages  
from 10.6 under both architectures.  There will be plenty of time in  
coming weeks to fix everything in unstable and then move to stable  
when ready.
