I'm assuming that will be fixed before upload. :-)

This will need fixing in testing before the point release happens,
otherwise (assuming the dak code still works as-designed) it's going to
end up in unstable and testing automagically in order to ensure the
inter-suite version constraints are preserved.  Other than that and the
changelog note, please go ahead.
