Hi Sergei,

Thanks for providing this debdiff.

I am afraid that erlang is not really my strong suite, so I have to ask
the following before I can answer your request.

 * Is this change backwards compatible in API/ABI?  Will existing
   reverse dependencies build,link and run against erlang without any
   changes and without needing to be rebuilt?
   - In particular, #747593 suggests it will change the size of a C data
     structure.

Thanks,
~Niels
