For the record, you can ask the ftp-masters to reject packages in NEW
(e.g. for stuff like this). Anyhow, in the given case, we can probably
let it slide for now. Though, I will follow up on the #675976 about
libguac.

Yeah, in a transition we generally want packages to migrate "sooner
rather than later", so a new RC bug will just make things worse actually. :)

The first results on openwalnut appears to be positive[1], so it is
probably not going to be an issue. But if something fails I expect you
(i.e. the maintainers of biosig4c++) to help solve the issue.
