Ben Burton, the maintainer of the KOffice package is, according to apt-cache pkgnames | xargs apt-cache show | grep "Maintainer: Ben Burton" | wc -l maintainer of 143 packages (and that's just unstable). I think everyone who upgraded unstable while the ABI transition wasn't completed yet, knew that some packages would come in later. One of the packagers, I think Adeodato Simó, posted that they will announce the transitions completion for those who want to stay on the save side. Cheers, Kevin
