This issue was discussed in #833493.  Currently I can't upload since
cufflinks does not build.  If the new version of liblemon would not have
been rejected by ftpmaster for a reason others do not agree with[2] we
could have started to port cufflinks to the new liblemon library (which
is definitely not a trivial change but seems to me a promising way to
deal with the issue anyway - probably in connection with upstream).

Kind regards

      Andreas.
