well, the release team refuses to update jack 0.109.2 to 0.116 in lenny,
because we are not able to explain every bits of the patch. Since 0.116
introduces a shlibs bump, it effectivly blocks packages like xine-lib
from going into testing via unstable. I've asked if we should revert the
shlibs bump by downgrading the version in unstable, but the luk says it
wouldn't be worth the trouble.

So there is nothing we can do about that for now. xine already went via
testing-proposed-updates, and we do not know about other packages with
that problem.

Let's hope the release will happen soon.
