I don't think rebuilding all the reverse dependencies is what we want to test. However, I am prepared to do that if release Release Team wish. I have used codesearch.debian.net and the only hits on 'XmForceGrabKeyboard' occur in source package motif. I also have a machine that has every Motif package installed (where I was testing xfonts), on which I plan to grep through /var/lib/dpkg/status for dependencies on libxm4. If any package used XmForceGrabKeyboard, it should depend on libxm4 (=> 2.3.4-5~) which it would have picked up from libxm4.symbols. The machine is running Vivid, but I don't think it will matter. > It's rather late in the release cycle, so maybe leave things alone for > now, and plan to do a jessie-pu once that testing is complete? If you uploaded 2.3.4-6.2 now, could it cause any harm? At least this will get the package built and Release Team can still decide whether to grant the unblock request or not.
