And if would've been cool if you could send a rationale for why the binNMU is
needed (I simply don't know why one has to recompile against a new gcc, and
there's no bug# reference) to debian-release@lists.d.o (Cc'ed).
(binNMUs migrate automatically if present, hence it's also slightly relevant
for wheezy release management.)
