Thanks Martin for the pointer. The fallout of this is pretty large so I'm 
asking anyone with a failure to fix packages - the change is done easily
done and we need to get the current rate of failures down before we can
integrate more things. 

A lot of fixed packages are already waiting to be accepted, thanks for that. 
But I'm afraid a lot is left to do ;(

Greetings, Stephan
