This is because gtk+2.0 is building/failed. I'd say to dep-wait them on
libgtk2.0-dev (>= 2.8.18-6).

This is because kdelibs is building/failed. I'd say to dep-wait them on
kdelibs4-dev (>= 4:3.5.4-3). (I hope to recompiling binutils will allow
kdelibs to build.)

The other thing is anything sdl-dependent on libsdl1.2debian (>=
1.2.11-1). Hmmm, that should've been uploaded by now.

The binutils problem is really a gcc optimiser problem. If you want an
idea of what our 193 node dependency tree looks like, check out
