True, though we would like of course to not wait until the last minute
for this transition to finish. I'm sure our release managers would
appreciate that as well :-)
The problem is, the longer the old compat libraries stay around, the
higher the chance that new packages will pick up the old names

Since I first filed the bug reports 3 months ago, 3 new packages started
to (build-)depend on the old libraries.

Ok. Can you muster a guess when that will be? Weeks, months?

Cheers,
