I did not follow the full discussion, but it seems like the
xfce4-notify bug was fixed, leaving only a notify-sharp bug (lack of
robustness in the face of unexpected input from the notification
daemon).

If this isn't fixed in time for squeeze, maybe it would make sense to
declare

	Conflicts: xfce4-notifyd (<< 0.1.0-3)

from the libnotify0.4-cil package to cope better with partially
upgraded systems?  It's a shame there is no Broken-by dependency to use.

Even better, would it be reasonable to fix xfce4-notifyd in lenny?

Thanks,
Jonathan
