The upstream bug looks bleak to me: open for 7 months, no upstream
comments, no fix suggestions, no workarounds.
At this point I would seriously explore dropping B-D on this package, at
least until it's fixed upstream.
If one or two packages with a dep on it cause transitive problems in many
other packages I would focus on those first, but if that's not identified
yet it needs to be done first.

If a package A has a dep, especially a transitive one, on a package B, and
B is RC-buggy, there are no workarounds possible in A that would prevent
its removal.
