Ehhh... okay. The last OpenSSL binNMU had an 11-day difference between
Mumble getting rebuilt and qt4-x11 being rebuilt in Sid. That's a short
time in release terms, but a long time in terms of users finding Mumble
broken and waiting for it to be fixed.
Either way I have my answer. Thank you very much.
