It seems to me that all packages incorrectly using the internal
representation and not the documented interface of GMP where patched.

What else stops migration of GMP to testing? Maybe a release of GMP
explicitly saying that it breaks:
 libmath-gmp-perl < 2.20
 libmath-prime-util-gmp-perl < 0.51-2
 postgresql-pgmp < 1.0.4
is needed? So that nobody will update the library without updating also
the other possibly failing packages?

Ĝis,
