Jeff, we don't usually call it a 'flag day' when it's just the normal
and uninteresting case that you update the upstream version of the
package, and you need minor tweaks to how you package it. That happens
all the time. A general rule of thumb is to stop drinking at least 4
hours before undertaking a full version upgrade of _any_ package you
maintain.
You could argue that converting a wireless driver to use mac80211 would
break ipkg distributions too. And call that a 'flag day'.
But that would be silly. Wouldn't it?
