Ok. Which of those broken dependencies listed in the report directly affects you?
That doesn't matter at all. Just because the list contains packages, which you don't use, does not imply that no other users use any of these packages.
Did you file a bug report about it?
Package maintainers receive the broken deps reports by private mail. That is sufficient, since very often packages only need a rebuild and no modifications. Using automated bugzilla ticket submissions would be a more aggressive form.
