Just fixed a couple of things; I think it's better to abort the
build if the ABI number needs an update rather than just generate
a new Provides: entry silently.

It looks good to me now. Feel free to upload at will.

Sure. I was hoping for an ack from the release team first but I suppose
they're too busy.

I'll file the release.debian.org bug when I see you've uploaded.
