That's not true; libkexif0 and libkexif1 are both built from the libkexif
source package, so if you upload the experimental version of libkexif to
unstable, the old libkexif0 binaries will be removed.

If you change the source package name, it will have to go through NEW
processing, AFAIK (and probably be rejected for a gratuitous name change).

Given how few packages depend on this library, and given that one of them is
already broken, there's probably no reason to hold off on uploading the new
libkexif to unstable.
