The update in question has actually been pushed to stable (based almost
entirely on feedback from the desktop team), so even if you disable
updates-testing, you will get these broken packages.
Yay for abuse of the system :\
I think this is one of the main reasons the team or maintainer SHOULD
NOT be able to add karma to packages. The 'it works for me' stuff should
not apply to major chunks of the OS without independent feedback.
