readline 7.0 is now released, changing the soversion. The idea is to upload the readline package from experimental (plus providing the libreadline*6-dev packages), and stop building the -dev packages and common packages from readline6. Afaics, the API didn't change; for rebuild tests I only see build failures for unrelated reasons. readline and readline6 can stay in testing for some time, but readline6 should be removed from testing before the stretch release. I haven't done a test rebuild on unstable, but building on Ubuntu yakkety. The current state of the transition can be seen at http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/transitions/html/readline.html
