Yes, I'm really sorry about that.
I had uploaded 2.x to experimental a little while back (during the
freeze) and in thinking through my plan for uploading to unstable I
completely and entirely forgot to think about reverse dependencies.
At this point, I've already caused the damage (again, apologies for
that), so I think that the best thing is to get some patches sent out.
I'll start working on those ASAP.
Would the release team like to provide any specific guidance that I
should observe here? Or perhaps suggest an alternate approach?
Regards,
-Roberto
