Are you personally going to deal with all of the rebuilds this time, or
make sure that they're all coordinated?  It kind of ended up devolving
to other people who didn't really know libav to sort it out with the
libav10 transition, and it held other things up for a long time, so I'd
like to avoid a repeat of that mess.

(Also note that I'm trying to get Perl 5.20 landed as well, not least
because it adds multiarch support, although I'm staging that in a PPA so
hopefully I can manage to keep it reasonably separated.)

Thanks,
