Sure, no problem with the bug closing.
it is probably the question for the longer discussion in the future, how should
we proceed with header-only libraries. Usually I do not ask for the
rebuilding after an upload of this package. But there was a discussion
last August [1] regarding this topic. And sometimes it makes really
sense to rebuild all rdeps.
