Well, one normally notices and files bugs for untransitioned packages
when one dist-upgrades and apt wants to remove a package depending on
the library. As no packages depend on this library, nobody will be
able to notice this way.
Only way that I can think of is somebody locally compiling a program
that uses the lib; and they'll found about it breaking when they
recompile their program with gcc 4, not when they "try to upgrade
their systems".
So you should know better if this is a likely scenario or not.

Either by removing it, or by fixing it, the RC should be closed soon,
FSV of "soon".
