That's wrong (sorry), as the same problem shows up each time a new 
xine-lib/xine-lib-extras-nonfree packages hit the repo. The exact same 
problem also happens with other packages with close inter-repo deps -- 
kernel module packages for example, but also 
qmmp/qmmp-plugins-freeworld, audacious/audacious-plugins-nonfree and a 
few others.
