When is this expected to be released? I'll need to update perl-xyne-arch to
handle this and it would be useful if I could insert a versioned dependency to
prevent any breakage during the transition period.

Am I correct in believing that the file format remains the same and that the
merger is a simple insertion of the depends file into the desc file?
