Yes, but that version of libgfortran2 is likely to be in the archive
for some time.

Hm, are you sure my packages are the only ones depending on it?
So let's try to be more empirical and ask apt:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache rdepends libgfortran2
libgfortran2
Reverse Depends:
  r-cran-qtl
  libgfortran2-dbg
  gfortran-4.2
  zivot
  r-cran-mnormt
  r-cran-lmtest
  r-cran-hmisc
  r-cran-adapt
  r-cran-acepack
  pvm-examples
  multimix
  libminpack1
  libgfortran2-dbg
  gfortran-4.2


Indeed, one could contemplate asking the release team whether it is
worth wondering about that. Do you feel like doing that?

Dirk
