I guess britney still considers it a new bug because the binary package is 
new. One way to avoid that would be to reassign to linux-2.6. That loses the 
information that the bug is specific r3k-ip22, but I think the same thing 
would happen in less than one month anyway.

The latest upload will need a hint due to the ABI change anyway.
