Is this OK? Well, passepartout should not actually build successfully in unstable, because libxml++1.0 has not been updated by its maintainer for the latest C++ ABI transition. This was what prompted me to consider dropping libxml++1.0 for etch. So, it's either figure out how to make passepartout work with libxml++2.6, or NMU libxml++1.0 for the ABI transition... your choice.
