It's an API change.

Debian doesn't make any > promises about UI stability, only upstream does. GTK is a UI toolkit. If a UI toolkit does not provide UI guarantees, it's broken. This does not need to be in any Debian policy, just as Debian policy doesn't need to delineate the details of every language's API and ABI. If an API incompatibly changes, that's a bug. If that interface is used by hundreds of programs in Debian, that's an RC bug. -- Joe Wreschnig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
