   Hard to tell yet. There are a number of trivial changes (e.g removal of   
   compat header nettle/sha.h) that throw many rdeps but also harder breakage.   
      
   How about uploading from a separate source right now to be safe and moving   
   it to a nettle src if possible later?   
      
   I have started an experiment on debusine   
   https://debusine.debian.net/debian/developers-ametzler-nettle-v1/   
      
   Will need to figure out how to get debusine to try to rebuild all rdeps.
