Please unblock package libunistring 0.9.3-3. This version, relative to
0.9.3-1, the version in unstable until recently, fixes an FTBFS (Bug
#596243) and a typo in the package description (Bug #596243).
Unfortunatly, libunistring 0.9.3-1 has not propagated to testing yet,
due to #519006, which caused the package to fail to build on mips*.
Looking at the upstream changes from 0.9.1 to 0.9.3, one can see that,
although the diff is huge, most of it consists of a buildsystem
(including gnulib) update and a large amount of indenting and
copyright header changes. This agrees with the upstream NEWS and
ChangeLog entries.

Upstream NEWS:
New in 0.9.3:
* Bug fixes in unistr.h functions:
- The functions u16_to_u32, u16_to_u8, u8_to_u32, u8_to_u16 now fail when
the argument is not valid. Previously, they returned a converted string
where invalid parts were each replaced with U+FFFD.
- The function u8_mbsnlen now counts an incomplete character at the end
of the argument string as 1 character. Previously, it could count as 2
or 3 characters.
- The return value of the u8_stpncpy, u16_stpncpy, u32_stpncpy functions
was incorrect.
- The u8_strcoll, u16_strcoll, u32_strcoll now try harder to give a non-zero
return value.
* Portability to MacOS X 10.6 and Cygwin 1.7.
New in 0.9.2:
* The function uc_locale_language now uses the locale of the current thread,
if a thread-specific locale has been set.
