Libextractor has a release critical bug, http://bugs.debian.org/282342

We are trying to get gnunet into sarge, a version of gnunet has been
uploaded without the libextractor dependency, which will enable it to
get into testing in less than 2 days, as can been seen from
http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gnunet.html

Removing the dependency on libextractor was a defensive move, better to
have a version of gnunet in sarge that has reduced functionality than
nothing at all.

Daniel Baumann has been preparing a fix for libextractor for a while,
but his debian sponsor hasnt uplaoded it yet, i dont know the details.
