The problem is that the previous version has not migrated to testing yet
and it looks like it will only be just in time for the release.
Upstream seems to always update all these components even if there are
no real changes, but just for consistency? If so, I think it would be
best if after the release you move them all to the same source package
to prevent these wastes of time on the buildds because they depend on
each other. What do you think?
