Greetings, I'm afraid I'm just back from a couple of weeks out of the country and with very limited email contact. During this time, my packages were (rightfully) rejected from the NEW queue, and the 0-day NMU policy took effect, under which you NMU-ed my packages. I had not foreseen this change, since I figured, my old packages are fine, the new ones will go in "when they're ready".
Unfortunately, this had the detrimental effect of assigning the -c2 label to library packages with only one binary change: the new C++ ABI. If you read debian-beowulf, you know that I have been preparing a 1.2.7 upload with c2 which also includes removal of the slog library (by upstream) and addition of fortran 90 libs using the new gfortran compiler. Since upstream has not changed its library sonames (in spite of removing slog, on which mpe used to depend), your NMU would force me to use a new non-standard change to the library package name to account for these updates. Therefore, is there any way to retract your NMU packages from the NEW queue? (Actually, I don't see them there, but they should be because they involve renamed packages...) This would make my life much easier. I'll have new 1.2.7 packages available by tomorrow, to replace the ones you uploaded; if simply uploading mine will make this happen then I'll do that. Oh well, I suppose it's my fault for not getting my updated c2 packages uploaded within the few days between the gcc 4.0 upgrade and my travel. Thanks for the emails and NMU, I hope we can pull back or replace 1.2.5.3-6.1, and I'll use (some version of) your patch (with attribution of course) in my 1.2.7 packages.
