Bug#665969: nmu: apt_0.9.0



Package: release.debian.org
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: binnmu
Severity: normal

Please provide bin-NMUs for a coming apt ABI change (the apt version
in experimental will hit unstable as 0.9.0).

The version of apt in experimental includes multiarch support (among
other changes) and now that dpkg in unstable supports that apt shold
move to unstable as well. It also splits the library out of the main
package properly which will make subsequent ABI breaks easier but that
means that there will be binary-NEW processing needed after the
initial apt upload.

We need to make sure that libept gets rebuild right after apt is ready
to ensure that its updated for the new apt. Ideally we take the
version in experimental that encodes the apt ABI version in its soname
to ensure that its clear that while libept did not change ABI it
indirectly did because of the libapt ABI break.

Cheers,
 Michael
