Well, LDBM is the only case that needs to be handled in the *current*
maintainer scripts for sarge, because it's the only one that seems to be
irredeemably broken.

Ok.  How's the patching going?  Do you think you would have the necessary
fixes committed this weekend, and could upload by Monday?  Otherwise, we're
cutting things very close in terms of the release schedule; I'd hate for the
