I had totally missed that for the batched branch.

Too bad.  I know Ludovic had concerns about a ~3K rebuilds; that's a lot
but currently only x86_64 and i686 are in a state of building the world
it seems, so that's about 6K packages.

I've bunched this with glib-networking, another similar sized rebuild,
manually built most of the dependents on berlin for x86_64, and pushed
as 0a787e67ecd0fab42c7ddfec639b53d58c15af6e.

Closing.
