Thanks a lot for your insight into this topic. I'd like to stress my
point (again) that besides I was naively thinking that the checks done
on packages that are passing new due to binary package changes (which
are not only due to changed SONAME) my main point is that I've found
a discrepancy in statements of ftpmaster teams. My question whether
we agree to status A or B[1] was not yet answered (or I missed some
explicit answer).
Kind regards
Andreas.
PS: I'm currently considering writing up some summary of the bunch
