[Oops, yesterday I sent this email to the wrong email-address (forgot
'lists.' in the domain name). Silly me, sorry! :/]

Dear release-team,

we (the pkg-multimedia-maintainers) are going to upload the new upstream
version 1.0.0 of the libquicktime library to Debian unstable. I tell
you, because the new version involves an ABI transition and a soname
bump.

The library has been in experimental since 2007-05-07. All maintainers
of the very few packages [1] rdepending on libquicktime have been
informed and asked (at least twice via private email) to test-build
their packages against the new library. No seriuos issues have occured
within the last 6 weeks so we believe it is save to upload the library
to unstable.

Thanks for your attention!

Cheers,
Fabian
