I see. > Is there a solution which would allow us to perform a gradual rebuild of > involved packages without potentially blocking other transitions? The transition does not need to be finished before some other transition starts because we intend to retain the package 'libjack0' as non-virtual package so that dependencies on this remain resolvable all the time.
