I agree, we need to get this right.  Skipping it for rc3 should be
fine.

This area is complex, and I've been (rather unsuccessfully ;-) on leave
for the past couple of weeks, and it need some serious thought, and I
think the input of the original author to understand the original
rationale. 

Then we need to publish the ABI files and binaries, then add a new
function, re-publish and check it actually works, the new function is
tagged with the new version, the old functions untagged in the ABI, the
.so and then the thing debian uses to track those. 

That will give me the confidence we have got it right.

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
