It installs a shared library, and vips7.8 has been uploaded to sid already though has not cleared NEW. However, vips7.8 and vips7.10 can't coexist on a system, and it's not likely that it will have many dependencies, so it would be possible to just call this vips and put future new versions in through experimental first. Originally it looked like vips7.10 would not be released upstream in time for sarge, so I uploaded (via sponsor) vips7.8 first to hedge my bets. If vips7.10 is ready and is uploaded and transitions in time for sarge, then I will ask for removal of vips7.8. I'm open to input on whether or not the source package should just be called vips given this explanation. Thanks! --Jay s
