Hrm, I'm not sure I know what you're talking about then; I'm not aware of any of those packages being broken. (There was one day a few days ago when a whole bunch of packages disappeared from testing, including libc6 for example, so new installs would've broken because dependencies wouldn't've been available at all; a handful (maybe twenty or thirty on each arch?) of packages got completely lost, and got replaced by the version in unstable, possibly without their dependencies being checked: netpbm and xemacs were particularly affected) But I don't know of any problems with any of the above packages, beyond that one day where packages just started going missing; and certainly none that should've been noticable just by doing apt-get dist-upgrades.
