There can never be an obligation to do anything in Debian ;-) But we
can at least push this as, if you may, a strong recommendation or
position statement. Yes, not all of my packages are 1.9 enabled, and
for some it might be a not-to-hard task. But I have found it is
usually a trivial task. And if it's not, ok, I leave them as they are,
1.8-only.
