a) check that there is nothing depending on =${oldver} — if there is,
notify maintainer;
b) check the documentation to see if there is something extremely
obvious that will break (with icu unfortunately that doesn't happen);
c) try to get betas and rcs in asap _but masked_;
d) call for a tinderbox run (I can do that with a quick email);
In this case all should have stopped at a) since libreoffice-bin has a
=49* dep, for obvious reasons.
Since there was no hurry of security issues to get icu-50 in, I don't
see why this was all forced through -50_rc without giving time to the
_one_ package that was using an older version to update.
