Author Gradual mass bug filing for C++ transition / gcc-4.0 issues

I'm planning to start making sure every package which fails to build
with the current toolchain has an RC bug submitted against it. In
most cases, this should simply involve setting Andreas Jochens'
already existing bugs to serious, although I'll confirm each before
doing this. Exceptions will include:

- Packages waiting on other packages to transition.
- Failures clearly due to glibc issues (e.g. invalid lvalue errors
caused by <rpc/xdr.h> ).

I might also do NMU's for some of the more important packages, with a
delay of 2 days, or 5 days minus the time since the last dependent
package transitioned, whichever is longer. Right now I have my eyes
on jade/opensp/openjade, and possibly db*.

By the way, any estimates on how long it will be before we get a glibc
upload correcting the problems mentioned above?

I have already NMUed opensp, but it is still in incoming because of the
new libosp4c2 package.

All right, I guess I should have checked that first. Anyway, jade is
now in DELAYED/2-day/.

I am currently working on getting Bradley Bell's C++ packages
transitioned. These include[1] the following:
gconfmm*, glademm*, glibmm*, gnome-vfsmm*, gnomemm*, gtkmm* and several
other *mm* libs.

On some I am waiting for the dependencies. But please contact Bradley
and me if you intend to NMU any of these.

Kind regards,
Philipp Kern
