soname bumps are good when they mean that you can coinstall differn't
incompatible versions.

There are only three reverse depends right now:

# grep-dctrl -FBuild-Depends libwebp-dev
-sPackage /var/lib/apt/lists/*Sources
Package: chromium-browser
Package: leptonlib
Package: sdl-image1.2

It would be a good idea to do a test build with leptonlib and
sdl-image1.2, chromium isn't even using it right now, as was why this
bug was opened.

After doing a test build file the process here to get a go-ahead
http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ReleaseTeam/Transitions

those two packages will have to be rebuilt on all architectures, with
the new library after it is uploaded, to complete the transition. I'm
not exactly how this works now in the world of multi-arch influencing
the effectiveness of binNMUs.
