Ok, then why have you bumped the shlibs in this version? I guess the 'fatal'
class is a new exported class?

Obby also includes changes to the dependencies of libobby-0.4-dev. Why does
the libnet6-1.3-dev dependency need to change so frequently? If it actually
needs to be changed so often, doesn't that mean the dependency will be wrong
on a simple rebuild of the package?
Anyway, I'm not sure that 'retry' is the correct solution here, but I don't
have any evidence to the contrary, so I've unblocked both of these.

I don't see that a freeze exception is justified here.
