Interesting coordination you guys have..  Wish I had a DD 10 meters away :-)

Looks like they made it in, as I just downloaded via sid.  We await your 
openh323 rebuild and then shall commence the dependant packages rebuild.

Yes expect things to be breaking across unstable, I find sensible use of 
holding packages a good way to go, but still not everything is going to work 
together as we rebuild from the ground up. 

I notice there are some silly comments about KDE in particular in which people 
who are currently running unstable+experimental expect the entire system to 
be instable and usable at all times during the transition period.  That just 
isn't going to happen.

Now that libpt has been uploaded to sid, expect that voip packages to not be 
fully functional in unstable until they have all been rebuilt and the 
dependencies are resolved.
