Nice. Uploading a NEW PACKAGE NAME version of suitesparse, breaking all
of the following reverse-deps:

rene at mini:~$ grep-available -FDepends libsuitesparse-3.1.0 -sPackage
Package: libsuitesparse-dev
Package: illuminator-demo
Package: libluminate7
Package: python-scipy
Package: libpetsc2.3.3
Package: openoffice.org-calc
Package: lp-solve
Package: octave3.0
Package: octave3.1
Package: python-sparse
Package: freemat
Package: libsuitesparse-dbg

(and openoffice.org-core in turn depends on lp-solve).

When those now get rebuilt in sid against the new suitesparse (and they need to
because they will become uninstallable when libsuitesparse-3.1.0 semi-automatically
get removed) they can't be fixed via sid anymore.

Did you EVER hear of the freeze?
Upload such stuff to experimental.

Anyway, we discussed that quickly on #debian-relese.
Reverted. Will NMU with epoch uploading 3.1.0 again.

Grüße/Regards,

René
