There is, actually. I got word from upstream 
(https://codeberg.org/gumbo-parser/gumbo-parser/issues/3#issuecomment-2563384), 
a mere couple of hours after I send you the mail, that they should 
indeed have bumped the major version number to signal API/ABI 
breakage.

In the meantime, they did bump the major version number. So I will 
shortly package 0.13.0, following the workflow in 
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ReleaseTeam/Transitions.

This is what I usually do, for instance for the update from 0.10.x 
to 0.12.0. But I assumed that it was unnecessary for 0.12.0 to 
0.12.3 (according to the rules of semantic versioning that 
upstream follows).

And I will do it now, since I now have to package 0.13.0.

Sorry again for the trouble,

Aymeric
