Thanks, it was unclear to me that this was an ABI tag, I was previously unfamiliar with its use in the archive. It appears this is the only package currently in the archive that uses this ABI tag. I'm perfectly fine to take your patch as authoritative instead when it comes time to upload to unstable, and have asked the ftp team to include this corrected package name in the list of binary override mappings for the archive. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
