Hi James,

thanks for your swift replay and thanks for the bug report! I was not
aware of it.

Regarding the transition, the only missing package according to
#1018679 is autobahn-cpp (#1019114), which is orphaned.

However, there are indeed new packages that have appeared since then
that depend on libmsgpack-dev:
- neovim
- dials
- tmate-ssh-server
- libdata-messagepack-stream-perl
- tamte
- rocblas
- groonga
- webdis
- neovim-qt
- libdata-messagepack-perl

I did a quick codesearch via
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=msgpack.hpp to find out which
of those packages actually depend on msgpack-cxx:
- ring
- rocblas
- dials
- libdata-messagepack-stream-perl (unsure)

Is there anything I can do to help speed up this transition? Given
that number of affected packages is quite small, I don't think a
forceful transition for the C++ library would be a problem (that is,
removing libmsgpack-cxx-dev from libmsgpack-dev and updating
msgpack-cxx). I am willing to invest time in writing bug reports and
patches if you think this is doable before Feb 29th.

Cheers,
Stephan
