There is a distribution-related issue here whether you care to
acknowledge it or not - and the solution isn't going to be to wait until
the whole world decides on only one version of everything. Incompatible
repositories should be allowed/encouraged to exist and we need a way to
deal with them reasonably.
But on a more personal note you should take it as a tribute to to the
base distro packaging that you've just rolled out a massive update and
the chatter on the list is mostly rants about unrelated trivia.
