Not really, I would expect this to be provided by the Change owners.

The core bits I've looked at are:
graphviz
avahi

As they impact the rest of the distro.

and a few other packages. There appears to be problems with a number
of the packages regarding either version checks for mono itself or
requiring gmcs, what ever that is! Anything I've rebuilt or tried is
against the above tag so should be straight forward to find.

Either way it looks like there is still quite a bit of work for the
change owners to do before we can tag anything over to f23.
