Here's a quick overview:

libclutter-0.6-0 isn't in Karmic AFAICT.

libclutter-0.8-0
Reverse Depends:
  python-clutter
  liblua5.1-gnome-0
  libclutter-perl
  libclutter-gst-0.8-0
  libclutter-cairo-0.8-0
  libchamplain-gtk-0.3-1
  libchamplain-0.3-1
  geeqie
  libclutter-0.8-dev
  libclutter-0.8-dbg
  gobject-introspection-repository

libclutter-perl, libclutter-gst, libclutter-cairo, and libchamplain
all have new upstream releases using Clutter 1.0 that are not yet in
Debian.

liblua5.1-gnome seems to have made the change in CVS, but no release
yet. We could probably grab it as a patch. See:

http://luaforge.net/plugins/scmcvs/cvsweb.php/lua-gtk/src/clutter/spec.lua?rev=1.7;cvsroot=lua-gtk

geeqie seems to pull in libclutter-0.8-0 through its dependency on
libchamplain-gtk.

The only one left that I'm not certain about is
gobject-introspection-repository.

libclutter-perl, libchamplain-gtk-0.3-1, and geeqie seem to be
un-installable due to libclutter-gtk-0.8-0 being missing (like
python-clutter).

We could probably get rid of libclutter-0.8-0 in Karmic. I'd be happy
to work on that. Would a general Clutter transition freeze exception
be appropriate?
