Hello,

I noticed you bumped up soname of libuim.
Sadly, your doing for libuim package seems wrong, and
it's bit late to solve this by a smooth way.

0. hm, soname is bumped up... This is not a problem, but
   soname change (API incompatibility) makes a transition work.

   Will libuim change it again in the near future?
   You should better define which version you'd like to adopt
   for next stable Etch. All of dependent packages are affected.

   Please keep in mind that library transition makes a confuse for
   a while and you need to ask about it to release-team at first.

1. "libuim1 conflicts with libuim0" makes:
   This is absolutely wrong. This prevents to coexist a package
   uses libuim0 and another one uses libuim1.
   I understand both libuim0 and libuim1 include files have same name
   - plugin and locale files. Please move them to other NEW or
   existing packages for next transition. Even if it's too late to
   avoid current situation.

2. "libuim1 replaces libuim0"?:
   Confuses and seems wrong. If upstream changed soname, it means
   that libuim1 is incompatible with libuim0.

I want to stop that libuim1 enters in testing, till the appropriate
transition path is planned.

Thanks,
