Go ahead.
The provides is not enough while the old package is still available, as real
packages are preferred. We'll need to get the old -dev decrufted once ftplib is
built everywhere, so the new one is picked up. Then we can schedule the binNMUs.
Hmm, or probably some --extra-depends on the new package will suffice.
