Great, thanks.

One issue left - Luk's unblock hint for xapian-core is now wrong:

unblock xapian-core/1.0.7-2
age-days 15 xapian-core/1.0.7-2

Since he added it, I uploaded 1.0.7-3 to fix one packaging bug and two
upstream issues:

 xapian-core (1.0.7-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/rules: Run "make all" and "make check" as separate commands to
     avoid hitting parallel building bugs.  Closes: #493390
   * debian/patch: Backport fixes for upstream bug #287 (which can cause
     database corruption), and a bug without a ticket which causes problems
     iterating over tables created lazily after the database has had commits
     which are still in sequential mode.

Bug #287 won't affect everyone, but has been run into by at least 2 independent
users and the fix is a single line of code.  The unticketed bug is a one line
change in two places.  I don't know of anyone who has hit it besides myself,
but it can happen after using the documented procedure for upgrading a database
from the old "quartz" backend to the new "flint" backend, so I think it's an
appropriate fix for lenny.
