What I intended to say here: I believe we don't need to make use of the
transition tool [0]introduced some time ago, which would reject uploads
until the transition is complete...

0. http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2008/04/msg00282.html

... and this idea didn't come to my mind yet -- thanks for the hint.

But I had no opportunity to know in advance that kmymoeny2 0.9 would
break kmymoney2-plugin-aqbanking 0.9.6beta-4. So may I kindly ask: Would
the release team issue a freeze-exception for the following patch in
Lenny (via TPU)?:

Besides this being a good exercise for me, I am not really convinced
that it's worth the effort. For Lenny it would not change anything at
all (because kmymoney2 >= 0.9 will not migrate to Lenny due to #503654).
So the only effect would be sometime post Lenny. AFAIUI this change
would prevent kmymoney2 >= 0.9 to migrate to Squeeze before an
accordingly recent kmymoney2-plugin-aqbanking is ready for Squeeze too.
Is this really the whole point or do I miss something?
