Indeed!  I screwed things up in two ways: I didn’t revert the reverts,
meaning the merge had not effect, and because of this, I failed to
realize that things that were broken before were still broken.  My bad!

Specifically, Mark told me that at least these important packages fail
to build: evolution-data-server, gedit, gnome-control-center,
gnome-session, gtkmm, totem, mupdf.

Thanks, and sorry all for the mess!
