Is a binary NMU > for the 3 broken arches appropriate here? although one could argue that this should never happen as buildds are supposed to have clean chroots (i'm not argueing that the bug in giflib isn't a bug), binNMUs would be unfortunate here since it would only fix the symptoms but not the cause. therefore, building now '--with-x=no'. that package then should go to lenny too.
