Yes. If you need to recompile for potato, then most likely, the rest of the archs might also. Speaking from the Alpha world, I know that I usually don't update a package unless I either use it personally or until the maintainer is ready for the jump (since there are some glibc 2.1 issues on many of the archs). In short, go ahead and upload the new version. Most likely, most archs have dbuild installed and very few actually have to manually compile anyway.... C
