Jessie is in freeze, entering deep freeze in a few days.
Prepare a fully-justified request for a release unblock, otherwise it is
pointless to upload to sid (experimental is OK).
It must have a full description of the reasons for the change, the diffstat
of the debdiff, and a debdiff. I usually abridge from the debdiff any noise
such as updates to automatically-generated files/buildsystem (configure,
config.sub/guess, etc).
It is likely that it would be better to just patch 0.5.1-1 with the
pkg-config change, unless the changes between 0.5.1 and 0.6.2 upstream are
all simple and only bugfixes.
