Hi!

It appears to me that this removal was done prematurely. The removal prevents quite a few packages from trying to build on kfreebsd-amd64 and kfreebsd-i386. This is one example which I stumbled upon:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=marisa&suite=experimental

Tracking the reason for those "BD-Uninstallable" occurrences leads me - over perl, gettext and emacs - to this:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=git

Not sure I make the correct analysis, though. It's rather messy.

It seems like a bigger problem on kfreebsd: git does not build because the old gettext cannot be installed without the libcroco. Also, a newer gettext does not build (via emacs) without git-man at some specific version. Would it make sense to reintroduce libcroco for unstable only and losen the versioned git -> git-man dependency to resolve this?
