Anton has pushed his changes already, but so far I've not seen the upload yet. That's a good thing because the Breaks/Replaces needs to use a version constraint: Breaks: libstxxl1 (<< 1.4.1-2~) Replaces: libstxxl1 (<< 1.4.1-2~) Ubuntu uses Conflicts/Replaces without a version constraint. And bothered to rename the -dbg package too, which neither I nor Anton have done. My proposed changes are attached because cannot push to debian-science, I think that should be used instead of Conflicts/Replaces as Ubuntu has done. > If you've done the work already, and if all the library build-deps > either don't need a transition or have already started theirs, then I > would personally say you might as well NMU to an appropriate DELAYED > queue.

It doesn't look like any of the libstxxl build dependencies are a blocker, so I do think we need to go ahead with an upload to unstable soon.
