I uploaded these, which are targeted for unstable. For the
reverse-depends:
* elmerfem: I'll handle this.
* freecad: Denis submitted bug 617545 with a patch, I just emailed
a note indicating OCC 6.5.0 is in NEW.
* gmsh: not tested, I'll try building and will submit a bug and
patch if needed.
* netgen: I'll handle this
* salome: this issue will join the long queue of stuff to do on
this package... :-(
