 Ah... ok.

 I'm sorry for being dense, it's been too long since this whole thing
 started, and I must have forgotten something, but I don't get this from
 your original message:

 > Please rebuild these packages, especially library ones. Don't change

 Why must we not change the build dependency to >= 1.2.5.0-4?  If the
 purpose of the rebuild is to get this right, we want to get this really
 right, don't we?  In fact I'd also change:

    Package: libdevil-dev
    Depends: libdevil1 (= ${Source-Version}), ..., libpng12-0-dev (>=
    1.2.5.0-4), ...

 what am I missing?  (Probably a lot, I've got a horrible cold)
