Big day for meta-gnome2

A few nice things happened in the meta-gnome2 front: yesterday, aj and Kamion kicked jack-audio-connection-kit and alsa-lib into testing, clearing the way for a number of packages like gst-plugins and the packages that depended on it gnome-media, nautilus-media, rhythmbox, etc. Today, aj removed the remaining 7 days of wait for libbonobo, and this is unblocking a new set of packages; and Kinnison did a quick processing of libxslt, which was again stuck on the new/ queue in auric. This will fix the builds of most of the remaining meta-gnome2 problems, so if no new problems come up, it's should be mostly ready when a few of the affected packages get retried. When/if the "must have" packages are in, I'll consider doing a temporary upload removing the less important packages so meta-gnome2 can go in, making Sarge's testing a bit more realistic for people who are doing desktop installs. You never know, given our record of bad luck until now...
