+hmm i'm not sure of that, but here it seems libclutter-glx & co
+has been removed adn that cuases a remove of libchamplain0.8 & co.

+Obsoleting it should be against our library policy iirc, an old
+lib can stay on the system so that you can execute programs
+needing libfoo1 and other needing libfoo2 for instance.
