Great timing! Upstream released FreeType 2.13.0 during the freeze, and I plan on uploading this new version soon. `reverse-depends -b libfreetype6-dev` yields more than 200 r-b-deps on libfreetype6-dev. What is the recommended way to notify package maintainers that I am dropping libfreetype6-dev? A mass bug filing? Hugh
