I wasn't thinking when I did that upload, I intended to remove it almost as
soon as I had uploaded it, but I was tired, and decided I would do it
later, and I guess I forgot.

I apologize, and have deleted my NMU from incoming (in the process
accidentally deleting libgdk-imlib* as well, oops{1]).
[1]Shaleh: please accept my apologies, I have replaced the affected files
(libgdk-imlib-dev_1.6-1.1_i386.deb, and libgdk-imlib1_1.6-1.1_i386.deb)
with copies from a mirror of incoming, so everything should still be OK.
