Downgrading libsoup also solved my gnome-online-accounts problem.
I'm tentatively marking the bug as RC, as I'm not (yet) sure how many of
the libsoup rdeps are affected.

If this is solved by a binNMU, this smells like we should bump the
library package name, so we have a sort-of library transition.

Involving upstream might be good idea as well. Alban, do you want to
take care of this?
