libexiv2 New Upstream Release & soname bump



debian-release, (and rdepends of exiv2)

I'm planning on uploaded a new version of exiv2, which will include the new 
package libexiv2-4 (due to an soname bump)

rdpends include:
libexiv2-2
Reverse Depends:
  ufraw
  qtpfsgui
  python-pyexiv2
  libkexiv2-3
  libexiv2-dev
  kphotoalbum
  gwenview
  gpscorrelate-gui
  gpscorrelate
  gnome-commander
  gimp-ufraw
  exiv2

Is this transition OK to proceed?

This release considerably extends the functionality for dealing with XMP. It 
includes conversion of Exif and IPTC to/from XMP, XMP sidecar files and XMP 
pretty printing functionality. It also adds support for JPEG 2000 (JP2) and 
Photoshop (PSD) images, among other improvements and fixes.
