We decided that we would wait a bit to see if the last -rc became
final, to avoid unneeded breakages/binNMUs, etc. in the case that they
changed the ABI or even API again. This was also partially motivated
because of the breakage in alioth which happened around that time.
I don't know if Alberto knows the plans of upstream (maybe a Christmas
present? :-) ), but I think that the last -rc was almost 2 months ago,
the more that it goes on the most likely that they disrupt something.
OTOH we cannot wait indefinetly from them.
I will be on holidays next week, with more time for uploads and so on.
Cheers.
