Apparently hit a Send hotkey, the commit in question is:

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/mapserver.git/commit/?id=e959923d5c1cb8de4312b5d24315a6b96a1f2718

If you don't want to do the experimental uploads, you should use shlibs 
files instead. This allows you to require a higher version of the otb 
packages even if the SONAME and related package name doesn't change.

Kind Regards,
