CJ, Sjoerd,

This bug does not effect lenny. libpulsecore5 (0.9.10-3)

This RC bug is due to the libpulsecore5 (0.9.13-1) in experimental not correctly bumping the package name to match the upstream soname.

This is identified by the attached lintian error which should of been checked during build:

lintian -i libpulsecore5_0.9.13-1_i386.deb
W: libpulsecore5: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libpulsecore8
N:
N:   The package name of a library package should usually reflect the
N:   soname of the included library. The package name can determined from
N:   the library file name with the following code snippet:
N:
N:    $ objdump -p /path/to/libfoo-bar.so.1.2.3 | sed -n -e's/^[[:space:]]*SONAME[[:space:]]*//p' | sed -e's/\([0-9]\)\.so\./\1-/; s/\.so\.//'
N:
N:   Refer to Debian Library Packaging Guide chapter 5 (shared library
N:   packages) for details.

N:   Severity: normal; Certainty: possible

A change of the library name in debian/control and upload to experimental will clear this bug.
