Currently, build-dependencies don't have to be satisfied in testing, but only in unstable, and buildds are tracking unstable. I removed the versionned build-depend because the feature is used in other packages, without any build-depends, and this package was an exception and couldn't migrate to testing. I don't know what's the plan for build-deps in testing and for the release, but I think that what ought to be fixed before releasing is binutils, not gnome-games. Let me know if you have any other information on the topic from eg ftpmasters or release team. Cheers, -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
