-tools sounds odd unless the package has some user-runnable tool, that
sentence is about 'run-time support programs' rather than all support
files.

The d-d-a announcement of the updated policy explicitly said that these
policy updates weren't targets for lenny, so I expect the Release
Managers would be happier if any extra package waited.  From what you
say 0.116 could be as well to wait too, especially if the shlibs
file/resulting dependencies will need bumped.  (Though I see we're
almost completely in sync between testing and unstable already, so a
shlibs bump shouldn't be a big problem just now.)
