4.2 has packages in experimental. We need the 4.2.2 release really so I think we've missed sarge.

Because buildds are broken and don't check build-depends and do dep-wait stuff automagically the plan to get this into unstable is to upload in 5 stages (yes, 5 *sigh*) with the stuff in bold with urgency=high. If you are building this yourself then you'll want to build the bits in bold and install them as you go and then build the bits at each level.

When we upload to the buildds we rely on appropriate dep-waiting.

Need to fix:

 * Hurd bits
  * well PATH_MAX depends on upstream now and they say they've fixed it.
  * The gtkhtml issue has a patch which looks fine. '''''Fixed in new packages -- ask Kinni to upload'''''
  * The segfaulting occurs on Linux too. Sent upstream for now.
 * The make everything use sensible-browser and other such debianisms in the xfce4rc and the menu bugs.

1. Debian packaging of xfce4

This is probably really dull for anyone except SimonHuggins and to an extent DanielSilverstone.
