Unless things have changed lately upstream, the position upstream has
always been that there is no binary compatibility between even point
release, and that we should rebuild everything. This was Xavier Leroy's
direct answer when i asked him about this back then (in the 3.08 days i
think), and i think it is a safe bet to assume this is still the case,
and rebuild everything. This should be relatively little work, as it
only involved buildd time with the new binNMU scheme, no ?
