Do you know whether pygame 1.9.3 introduces any backwards-incompatible
API changes? If yes, we would want to treat this like any other
library transition, i.e. defer it until the next stable release. What
I want to avoid at this point is to be uploading library packages that
break its reverse dependencies/build-dependencies and causes a bunch
of new RC bugs. Have you had a chance to verify at least some of the
packages listed below to see if they would be negatively affected by
this upload?

$ ssh mirror.ftp-master.debian.org dak rm -s testing -Rn pygame
