Thanks.
Also reported to Debian

Do you think we should do a staged deprecation for sigvec instead?
Probably not, especially since we aren't actually removing sigvec as
such (the subject got me worried for a moment).
We are indeed removing sigvec from the API.
Of course we are not breaking ABI compatibility; that goes without saying.
For the record, I think this change can go ahead.
