The broken deps that made mapnik completely uninstallable (it had
"Requires: dejavu-fonts-sans") needed to be fixed quickly for the
f11-beta by rel-eng (because of closed ACLs).  I'm not the primary
maintainer of the package (who is non-responsive) and hence probably
not on the bugzilla tickets.  I wasn't aware that the -compat package
was only temporary.

In any case, I can easily fix this before the final release, the
package ACLs should be opened up before then.
