Bug Description
To reproduce, simply try to install gnome-do in an up-to-date version of hardy. apt-get will refuse to do it since it can't find the "mono" dependency. This is because in hardy, the mono metapackage has been removed from the distribution in favor of simply installing the subpackages (according to a bug report in the mono source package).
I worked around this issue by downloading the gnome-do source, removing the dependency on mono, and rebuilding. Gnome-do worked fine after that. However, it is probably a good idea to add a mono-jit dependency to replace the mono one.

I can confirm this behaviour and second the suggestion.
