And if I resolve all the packages that depend on these 52, I wind up
with a few more (136, but this counts some twice, and is binary
packages, not source package, so not quite as many in reality):

My goal isn't to make life difficult for everyone.  My goal is to keep
the distribution in a form where it can actually build from the open
source we provide.

If you own a leaf package, and thus would be affected by one of your
dependencies going unloved, please consider resolving the FTBFS bug
for your dependent package, and your fellow maintainer.

Thanks,
Matt
