Can't you make glusterfs-common depend on libglusterfs-dev (until the buster release) so that rdeps don't fail to build if you upload this? Then they can update their build-dep asynchronously. Just considering this because there's no real transition per se, particularly if you address that concern. Cheers, Emilio
