Jessie will be released with 0.9.X, IIRC I told you that months ago,
during DebConf.
0.8.X → 0.9.X changes are not that big and I even considered uploading 0.9.1
directly to unstable. I used experimental where you had more than a
month to test it.

"recovering" from artificial limits that I enforce on all
python-sqlalchemy's reverse dependencies by generating << X.Y
dependency. I'm pretty sure that 99% of packages will need simple
rebuild. Those who don't will block python-sqlalchemy's migration (they
already have appropriate Depends line)

will you back this up with a traceback?
(/me really wanted to say more here but will stop for now)

I will not do that!
