Hmm... perhaps the wording was not the best. The intrusive change was
0.80.0-4; in 0.80.0-4 I changed the libpng depencency and that change
was caught in the middle of the freeze (that is, -4 got into testing,
but other packages recompiled against this version didn't). The
changes from -5 just prevent the problem from happening again. I
haven't got any reports from other packages stating that -5 broke
something, but I'll understand if you err on the safe side.
The change in -4 broke wdm, AFAIK. That's the reason for -4woody1.
