So far, about 6 weeks later, nothing happened.

And, as it has been stressed out later by Nicholas Breen, this version
fixes a regression that affect other packages (such as gromacs).

So, well:

- either the release team has no time to review the whole diff and
therefore will not unblock this package

- either they don't accept it

- either they accept it late....but that requires a very big
investment from them

In all 3 cases, I think that uploading a package with a fix for
#681428 *only* would not hurt.....and would anyway fix the induced
bugs such as #680825

Could it be considered? I think that relying everything on an unblock
for cmake 2.8.9-1 is too optimistic.

I understand you may have gazillion of arguments to avoid providing an
RC release in wheezy....but, that had to happen before the freeze if
you wanted to be sure it happens (yeah, I know, maybe upstream
released after the freeze, dunno....In Such case, this is just bad luck)

PS: I know nothing about all this stuff. I went on this while randomly
going through RC bugs.
