this seems to me like something that would qualify as a "significant
transition", and i'm wondering why this was not announced ahead of time?
i don't think it's good practice to upload anything that breaks over
300 packages in debian without at least some preliminary
announcement/discussion.
and furthermore, there are some of us who have been quietly waiting for
things to settle down from the previous major transitions before doing
our own, at the request of the release team.

ps - i'd also like to second the request for symbol versioning.
