My question still remains.  If we require a big recompile, when/ how are we 
going to bother to advise the maintainers of these packages? It has been 
stated that we are talking about 300+ packages :-(

Or are we going to do as we are currently and wait until users report vague
problems (these don't get straight forward bug reports - aka debian-kde 
confusion over the real problem).

Personally I would like to see an automated bug report stating what the 
issues are and how the maintainer can fix it. That's what I got during the 
last update to python and it made my life as a maintainer straight forward. 
Rather than having to guess some non-backwards compatable change in an 
dependant package.
