We will have for some while, both libsane1 and libsane transitional package. Rebuilding the reverse-dependencies will make libsane go away faster, but there is no real need to rebuild anything right now, because both dependencies will be satisfied. So, since the ABI seems to have not changed, this is not a "transition" but more a "lets rebuild reverse dependencies so the transitional package can go away faster" But in any case, reverse-dependencies are likely to have some unrelated upload in the next months, so rebuilding them now might be unnecessary (for sure it isn't necessary for testing migration). FWIW in Ubuntu I did the rebuilds :) Gianfranco
