Hello Debian Mono Group,

There is a circular dependency between libmono-system-design4.0-cil, libmono-system-web-services4.0-cil and libmono-system-web4.0-cil:

libmono-system-design4.0-cil 	:Depends: libmono-system-web4.0-cil (>= 2.10.3)
libmono-system-web-services4.0-cil 	:Depends: libmono-system-design4.0-cil (>= 5.16.0.220), libmono-system-web4.0-cil (>= 2.10.3)
libmono-system-web4.0-cil 	:Depends: libmono-system-web-services4.0-cil (>= 4.2.0)

Complex circular dependencies are known to cause problems during upgrade, so we
should try to avoid them.

Cheers,
