Thanks Ben. As you state this only effects sid, not lenny which is (maybe) 
good for the rdepends.

Jonas,

Are you intending for libc-client2007d to migrate to lenny?  Your change log 
indicates that this maybe an important release. However I haven't seen any 
discussion on debian-release nor any coordination with the rdepends.

If not you upload makes life difficult for the rdepends as we can no longer 
upload any proposed lenny changes via unstable.

Has the ABI/API actually changed that has necessitated a new -dev package and 
lib package.

As you maybe aware a new -dev package means that all rdepends must be changed 
and reloaded, whilst just a change in the lib package allows for binNMU.

Could I ask you to coordinate with the rdepends and discuss/ file bugs for 
what you see as the way forward for integration with uw-imap.

Thanks,
Mark
