OK Will wait..

I see the upstream soname changes, this is unnecessary if the ABI doesn't 
change.

Changing the soname causes a lot of work for the rest of us, you can't upload 
as a DM, we need to go though NEW again, opal and egika need to be rebuilt.

If the package version changes, it is quite acceptable for the soname to 
remain the same, iff the ABI hasn't changed.
