thanks for this information.
As you may have noticed this year's DebConf [1] is right ahead. Guido
and myself will be and also at the DebCamp right before the DebConf. So
I'm sure there will be time to take a deeper look into this RC. I plan
to take investigate some time on the depended libvmime package, we
already have a broken build for arm64 which should be normally fixed as
a user provided a patch.
But Debian is also now on the transition of the libstdc++ to version 5.x.

What about a possibility to update libvmime to a current snapshot? Is it
worth to investigate some time here or would you say it's useless for
later giraffe packages? I now libvmime is now build up with cmake which
need some adaption on the build I think.

Maybe some guys of you are in the near and want to join the event at
least at one day?
