Hi Michel,

I'm not on wily yet, so other than making sure there is a build there for
testing purposes, I've not used it yet (I'm using the vivid package, which
works fine for me).

When you say there are some missing dependencies, could you explain exactly
what you did and where and which error messages were shown?

Dekko is the only core app that has wily builds, as we are trying to
resolve some issues with the Jenkins core apps instance (which creates the
daily packages) for vivid and beyond.

In the meantime, and just for convenience until that is fixed, I started
setting up daily builds for all core apps on my personal PPA. Again, note
that this is just for convenience and that I'm not planning to maintain
these once we fix the core apps PPA issues:

Cheers,
