As part of an effort to remove unmaintained GNOME2 libraries from
Debian, tomboy will likely be removed from Testing soon. When this
happens, tomboy-latex will need to be removed from Testing too since
it Build-Depends and Depends on tomboy.

You may want to look into whether gnote can satisfy these dependencies.

There is also a rewrite (in Pascal!) of Tomboy that has not been
packaged in Debian yet:

I am filing an explicit bug here because tomboy is not eligible for
auto-removal because its popcon is still too high (it used to be part
of the 'gnome' metapackage.).
