- the upload isn't marked as a NMU - the package does not build from source (calls ldconfig): - the package does not build a -dev package. Correct? - the package overwrites the old library? Correct, if it's an extension only. But then it needs to be marked in the shlibs file. Else you need to build a libsafe2 and libsafe-dev package. OTOH, no package depends on libsafe. So it seems, we don't gain much to replace one buggy version with the next buggy version.
