There (was) a fairly old bug about the issue on sound-juicer which has just been
closed.  Essentially, what has happened is that libmb3 uses the 'version 1' web
services API.  At some point upstream made a big schema change to 'next 
generation
schema' or NGS - they then adapted their version 1 API to work on top of NGS as
best as possible, but with difficulty since it was fairly tightly coupled to the
old schema. As a consequence, some things (such as multi-disc releases) are not
handled properly.  The NGS change was brought in May 2011, so the problem has 
been
around since then.  It's fixed by using libmb4, which uses version 2 of the API,
which is coupled to the NGS.

The timing is basically my fault, here.  A few weeks ago I finally got sick 
enough
of this bug in sound-juicer to try and chase it down for good.  In doing so, I
made a list of libmb3 users, and that's how I discovered goobox - I hadn't heard
of it before then.  The MB4 library came out in January so anyone who noticed 
could
have scratched the itch at any time in the last 6 months.

I'm more than happy to do that.  One good thing about this is I discovered
goobox which looks pretty cool :) I'll prepare and upload the NMU on Tuesday. I
will plan to use a DELAYED queue but not one that misses the wheezy deadline. 


Thanks
