Hi Sandro and others,

Sandro Tosi has left python-cassandra-driver in a bad state, which leads
me to attempt to salvage it before it's too late. No harsh feeling, this
happened to everyone of us, and we can all be busy. Though something
must be done. Indeed, python-cassandra-driver suffers from #857298,
which is an RC bug that will lead to AUTORM in 16 days. This will also
remove openstack-trove, which I would like to avoid.

As I don't want to repeat history and get a flame war started by an NMU,
I'm in advance of a possible NMU upload, sharing the debdiff with the
debian-python list. If Sandro agrees, or if there's a consensus in this
list that it's appropriate, I'll NMU. Best would be if Sandro himself
fixes the issue though.

Attached is the debdiff. As you can see, I'm attempting to use the new
system that creates -dbgsym, and transitioning to it. Of course, for
this to happen, we will need the FTP masters to approve such change in a
timely manner, and likewise with the release team unblock. If someone
believe he has a better approach, let me know, though what I did is
probably the safest way to fix #857298.

Also, does #857298 really deserves severity "grave"? Are others sharing
the view that it could be downgraded to "important"?

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
