Apologies.  I appear to have made a mistake.  This was brought to my
attention by linda and lintian whilst getting kst ready for an upload
for the G++ transition (I was ending up in some circumstances with ldd
showing libstdc++5 and libstdc++6 dependencies despite the pbuilder sid
built package only depending on libstdc++6).  I think what happened 
is that FAM has C++ symbols but only exports a C API:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2005/08/msg00007.html

so although it shows as broken (I was under the impression that linking
against two versions of libstdc++ was normally a large bug), it's just
because some of the private symbols in FAM are C++.

Sorry for the noise, I think this can be closed now.

Mark
