I agree that this message is not as clear as it could be. In
practice, I believe the reason for the delay is that
gnome-desktop-environment has recently gained a conflict against
gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs, which is however still a dependency of several
packages. Not all of these are necessarily problematic, but one
certainly is: gnome-dbg (which also comes from meta-gnome2) depends on
gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-dbg (from gst-plugins-base0.10), which
historically depended on gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs. Version 0.10.23-3
has downgraded that to a suggestion, but only showed up as a
low-priority upload on June 17, so as things stand I wouldn't expect
the new meta-gnome2 to hit testing until at least the 27th.
