Hmm... now we need a old-flac source package to generate the old libflac4,
*AND* there is a major problem with liboggflac1.

liboggflac1 did not change the soname (better check this, it might require a
soname change, check the seekable ogg-flac support stuff). If it does, a
new upload fixes it, and liboggflac1 should be generated by the old-flac
package. If it doesn't, then what should we do? libflac4 would be mostly
useless in that case.

I will switch timidity to libflac6 in unstable, so that doesn't bother me
much, but flac is used by a lot of other stuff...
