Really?  When was the announcement?  In the past, I've always uploaded
new libraries into unstable, and they entered when they've passed
through the NEW queue...

I don't see a post from you in the debian-release archives from this
year (2011).  When did you contact them?

Is there a particular reason to do opencascade this way, e.g. need to
update the reverse-depends (elmerfem, netgen, freecad)?
