So on a new ABI-incompatible version the library maintainer should
contact the maintainers of all dependendent packages and arrange a new
upload as soon as the new version gets cleared from the NEW queue? The
timespan until the other uploads are installed into the archives is only
a problem if the melanie run by the ftp-masters happens in between, correct?
Kind regards,
