Adding Andreas as well, as he's blends expert and might have some ideas.
This is not urgent though.

Okay then, that's good news. According to dak, there are only 2 packages
that need fixing
Checking reverse dependencies...
# Broken Build-Depends:
lintian: cdbs
pandoc-sidenote: cdbs
I converted #1055980 into a ROM, so it's only about time it is dropped and
we don't need to fix it.

My patch to drop cdbs dep just got merged. I should be able to do a lintian
release in
the next couple of days or so.
Please file a ROM for cdbs once this happens.
Paul: would you be able to help with urgenting current lintian upload to
testing or the
next one? Unsure if it's really needed, but it makes things quick.
Best,
Nilesh
