A quick grep for 'replacement' digs up these grafts:

* cairo      (1059 rebuilds)
* curl       (1356 rebuilds)
* cyrus-sasl (1360 rebuilds)
* dbus       (1187 rebuilds)
* guile@2.0  (1457 rebuilds)
* libtiff    (1672 rebuilds)
* libxslt    (2765 rebuilds)
* pixman     (1061 rebuilds)
* ruby       (344 rebuilds)

There is probably a fair bit of overlap between cairo, dbus and pixman.
Are these OK for staging? Ruby is an obvious candidate, I'll do that.
