Also note that yesterday I've ported the "assignBlame/libmunge/conspirators"
feature from mash's spam-o-matic to Extras repoclosure. It implements some
basic checks to determine which library package might have broken the dependencies
and then sends a full copy of the broken deps report to its package owners.
The vte owners have received a rather long report.

And let's not forget the feedback inside bodhi.
