Well, I'm currently working on it and have to say, that it might need
some time. Because we are already in some freeze stage, the libexpat-
transition will very probaly happen after Lenny is released.

For your problem: Isn't it possible to fix the broken programs [1]
instead to reintroduce this very old compatibility symlink?

[1] Fixing means a) binNMU official packages (quick and dirty without a
clean transition) and/or b) enforce fixing of the broken 3rd party
packages by not providing the symlink. You will have to do the latter in
every case, because I *will* drop this symlink definitly.

Could someone please invite Matthias Klose to this discussion?
