libcdio SONAME transition (aka: bothering release team)

        Hi,

 libcdio changed SONAME/package name without warning; maintainer thinks
 the release team shouldn't be bothered for such a small transition;
 could you please clarify whether it's ok to bother the release team for
 transitions like this one?

 If that's ok with you, please schedule bin NMUs for:
    mednafen/0.8.1-1
    gst-plugins-good0.10/0.10.6-3
    xmms2/0.2DrJekyll-4
    vlc/0.8.6.c-3
    libdevice-cdio-perl/0.2.4-2
    fuse-umfuse-iso9660/0.2-2

 Dep wait would be libcdio-dev >= 0.78.2+dfsg1-1 I guess.

 NB: I excluded vcdimager as it seems to have been reuploaded already
 (maintainer is the same as libcdio).

   Thanks,

Do you really think it's worth bothering the release team for such a 
small library transition (it affects something like 5 source packages)?
I thought I'd rather ask the individual maintainers to re-upload that 
bother the release team. Moreover, the maintainers would the have the 
opportunity to check that the transition does not break anything. I 
thought I'd wait a few days, and then file bugs against affected 
packages, asking for a re-upload.

If you disagree and would not accept to re-upload, feel free to bother 
the release team yourself.


Cheers,

Nicolas
