Great!

This was basically one of the things that I really missed at this particular 
example: a lack of coordination between teams. (I stumbled only on this bug 
because I was affected myself, and could only thus follow up and fix stuff). 
I guess for bigger breakages a mail to the motu mailing list with a 
corresponding bug or with some advice of what packages to fix in what way 
might additionally help in coordinating effords.

Cheers,
     Stefan.
