Okay, now that lenny is almost released, I hereby request the authorization
to upload libsuitesparse-3.2.0 to unstable.  This is a shlib bump.

Besides, the libcolamd package has been split out, such that the footprint
of openoffice.org is reduced (see Bug#513415).  The package will have to go
through the NEW queue, anyway.

Thanks,
