It would be much better to either do the rebuilds yourself or arrange a
tag for the new soname and ask the packagers of the below packages to
rebuild them in the tag before merging the whole tag into rawhide. We
really need to get away from this method by which you dump a libmajor
bump into rawhide and then just hope for the necessary rebuilds to be
done.
