The latest upstream version of gavl breaks ABI and API and therfore
includes a soname bump of libgavl.
The Debian packages have updated their names accordingly.


The new version of gavl has been uploaded to experimental and has passed
the NEW queue.
I've done test-builds of all immediate reverse-dependencies as
indicated by
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-gavl.html.
The list of reverse dependencies is:
- gmerlin/gmerlin-avdecoder/gmerlin-encoder
- frei0r
- ocaml-gavl

gmerlin/gmerlin-avdecoder/gmerlin-encoder are sibling projects of gavl.
Versions compatible with (and requiring) libgavl3 are waiting in
experimental (and a required library transition for those of these
packages that provide libraries will be requested shortly).

I have rebuilt 'frei0r' and have not encountered any build problems.
I do not expect any runtime problems.

As for 'ocaml-gavl', it FTBFS due to the API breakage.
I have filed bug #1127729 for this.

Thanks for your consideration.
