First of all thanks for that.

Actually, I feel a little annoyed here. A new upstream version of
goobox required the new version of brasero which was only in
experimental at that time, so I uploaded to experimental and filed a
bug against brasero (629566) in June requesting an upload to unstable. This
bug was never even acknowledged.
In the mean time I had to do an interim upload because the very same
GNOME team had done a transition (again, without prior information)
which left the choice of leaving testing or putting out an intrim
version.
An now you file a *serious* bug against goobox, again without even a
simple (advance) notice[1] to me nor #629566. To be this is a very
impolite way of dealing with other developers and dependent packages.
Im looking forward to better communication/collaboration from the
GNOME team in the future avoiding unnecessary work for both sides.
Regarding this bug I'm unable to do this right now (which could have
been prevented by advanced information, but I disgress). I hope to
deal with it in the upcoming week, though.
Annoyed,
Helge
[1] E.g. by filing a wishlist bug with a timeline, i.e. the experimental
version will be upload to unstable on today+20 days and your package will FTBS
by
then, please prepare an updated version in that time frame.
