I have some;
- libm4ri and libm4rie change their SONAME at every release. However,
  the interface to the library hasn't changed for a long time. Those
  libraries should move to a saner SONAME handling.
  Upstream is aware of that:
  https://bitbucket.org/malb/m4ri/issue/51/move-to-saner-soname
  https://bitbucket.org/malb/m4rie/issue/16/move-to-saner-soname
  but nothing has been done yet.
  So, so to speak, it isn't a real library transition. At least, I
  (wrongly) didn't consider it as one.

Ok, I'll accept "upstream is mad" as a good reason :) This is clearly unavoidable.

Since it's only one package and you've done the testing of polybori already, I'll schedule the rebuild this time.

Could you please remember to open a binNMU bug next time so your mail doesn't risk being lost on the list?

Thanks,
