Please take this up with Helix Code -- the HelixGnome packages are not
supported by gnome-list.

To answer your question, I did see the "problem" above.  It is just
that the Debian maintainers have chosen to redo their packaging of
'sawfish' and HelixCode hasn't caught up.  For the time being, just
hold the "sawfish" and "sawfish-gnome" packages to their helix
versions.
