My question still remains. If we require a big recompile, when/ how are we going to bother to advise the maintainers of these packages? It has been stated that we are talking about 300+ packages :-( Or are we going to do as we are currently and wait until users report vague problems (these don't get straight forward bug reports - aka debian-kde confusion over the real problem). Personally I would like to see an automated bug report stating what the issues are and how the maintainer can fix it. That's what I got during the last update to python and it made my life as a maintainer straight forward. Rather than having to guess some non-backwards compatable change in an dependant package.
