 Sounds correct; the only thing to do now is to mail debian-release@
 explaining the issue (libgmime providing the symbol in old versions
 but now being fixed etc.) and requesting bin NMUs for:
    source package 1/version 1
    source package 2/version 2
 with the packages / versions in unstable; e.g. nautilus' source package
 is "nautilus" and its source version in unstable is 2.18.3-3 so:
    nautilus/2.18.3-3

 give a reference to this bug report so that they can read the details.

   Thanks,
