The last successful livefs build of xubuntu, prior to today's, was on
20080717.

The evince problem first appeared in the xubuntu livefs build logs on
20080721, which seems to have been two days before this evince upload.  And
before the start of the milestone soft freeze, as well.

So the cause of the livefs problem was the merge of a new version of
gnumeric from Debian, which silently changed the Recommends: line from
evince (>= 0.9.0) | evince-gtk (>= 0.9.0) to Recommends: evince (>= 0.9.0).

We do have an issue here in that finding out that a livefs build failed is
non-trivial.  The success/failure of the build isn't recorded anywhere, so a
human has to parse the build log to know if the build worked.  I've filed
bug #251653 about this.
