Patrick, I am sorry about the breakage in mumble. I had coordinated the NMU I made for protobuf 2.2 with Iustin who had suggested that I contact debian-release.
Nobody at the Debian release lists followed up on my posts. Nobody followed up when I pointed out that the upstream soname of protobuf 2.2 is still 4.0.0. I tried to be minimally invasive with my NMU and did therefore not raise the soname. I am not sure what the best way forward is. Given that mumble is the only user of protobuf, could you just rebuild based on the protobuf? That is probably quicker than a new upload, NEW queue, required rebuild, ... and avoids all hazzles regarding soname conflicts if we move to 5 now and Google later claims 5.
