A bug should not be closed until the version fixing it has reached the
archive. I assume you are referring to
 here. I'll look at that
version next.

For bugs with a wider impact than their own package, such as RC
bugs, transitions and release goals, please try to keep all available
information available in the bug log. The number of packages involved
in the libstdc++ transition is huge (around 3000 packages to be rebuilt
and up to 300 sourceful uploads), and a small number of developers are
trying to make it happen; the more information we have immediately
available, the sooner we can complete this transition and make unstable
usable for development again.

The changes look good, and I'm preparing a sponsored upload.

The new package will have to go through the NEW queue. When it reaches
unstable (but not before), this bug can be closed. Please use the
"Version:" pseudo-header to tell the BTS which version fixes it.

Uploaded.

One comment:

This is unnecessary, although harmless, and is not usually done. Only
the first three components of the Policy version are relevant for Policy
compliance; the fourth, if present, indicates technical changes which do
not affect what Policy says you should do.

Thank you

It all happened as an accident: I uploaded libmsn to the archive but then
it was rejected because I am DM not DD and with the gcc5 transition, a new
soname is created. Plus I had forgot to add the "Closes #791140" to the
changelog. I was in fact looking for an sponsor for the upload but you were
faster than me :-)

I was moving from 3.9.3 to 3.9.6(.1)
