So then we do all the legwork to get versioned symbols working, and send them a patch. 4 months later, they accept the patch, but change it just enough to make it completely non-compatible with what we've done in the meantime. gee, thanks guys! so this means we need to coordinate another transition, new binary package names, etc, before we've even finished transitioning to the previous package. at least it happened before etch was released... sean
