review: Needs Fixing (continuous-integration)

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

Why the change in ubuntu-application-api2-touch's package name? If that's intentional, then you haven't also renamed debian/ubuntu-application-api2-touch.install, which is why you have build failures.

I notice you haven't bumped the SONAME here. Does platform-api shield its users from the C++ implementation details?

Revert accidental binary package rename, causing a build failure

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

The symbols files show that these packages only export a C ABI, so there are no C++11 ABI problems here. Of course, the binary package name change is still fatal here and should be reverted.
