And now allegro4 is affected by #1112694 [1]. If anyone who is
maintaining a package dependant on Allegro4, you should step up now and
take over maintenance, if you want it to stay in Debian.
#1112694 is not release critical (yet), but will have it's severance
increased in about a months time, according to the reporter of the bug.
(I have taken care of the corresponding allegro5 bug).
