I thought this would be no problem as long as pandoc does not use
parsec-types from both texmath and highlighting-kate. Does it do that?
Did you test building pandoc with cabal (which is more picky about such
issues) or regular Setup.hs?

Do you plan to upload pandoc to unstable or experimental? Is it targeted
to squeeze?

(But no objections to doing the bump, the question is whether we want to
do it now in unstable, now in experimental, or after the release in
unstable)

Greetings,
Joachim
