It depend on db4.8 for some time in the past of wheezy, so I think it would be safer. We probably need db4.8-util anyway because there were some users other than cyrus-imapd in the squeeze, which will need the tools. Anyway this long list will be cut to just two version post-wheezy (prev and cur). The infrastructure is already there, but currently the 'prev' includes db4.7 and db4.8. >> > + python2.6 >> >> Isn't python2.6 going away after python2.7 transition is complete? >> > I think it's too late now.

Ok, I'll try to tackle with the horrible sendmail build system and do a NMU. For subversion it really needs it's maintainer attention (I just pinged him).
