I received a "minor" bug about a month ago (November 3rd to be exact)
from Matthias Klose (libcurl comaintainer I think) saying there was a
new libcurl. I didn't realise that it was something that was urgent.
Given that I'd already had to make two uploads for an unannounced
libcurl soname change and an unannounced soname change *back* I was wary
of the transition. I was holding off on it as release seemed imminent
(it's seemed imminent for months now of course... :)

Done and uploaded.

I still question whether today (closer to release than we were a few
months ago) is the right time to do this....

Ah what the hell, proceed anyway....not like a few pissed maintainers is
anything to worry about, eh?
As an aside: You didn't bother to CC the bug control bot, so none of
those severity bumps you tried for actually happened.
Cheers,
Stephen
