 from the release notes :
	"
	This release is NOT binary compatible with 2.0.0. 
	This release is NOT API compatible with 2.0.0. The 
	required changes are small but essential,

No source upload is needed to rebuild guitarix against zita-convolver
3.0.3.

Now, guitarix(version 0.20.2-2) used zita-convolver v.3. witch is
included in the upstream source package and patched by the debian
maintainer to solved the bug #649634. 
As soon, zita-convolver 3.0.3 is available in the build system, guitarix
will auto prefer to use the system package during (./waf)
configure/build.  
More over, guitarix will continue to work fine also when no rebuild
happen and zita-convolver 3.0.3 hit sid.
Then, guitarix will switch to use the system package when the next
upstream release enter debian.
