I am afraid I am not skilled enough to answer :(
Would you mind waiting for the end of this process (also acknowledging the related uploads and new binary package names in your packaging at that time) so that we don't interfere with the transition?That's okay, though I thought maybe releasing these new packages might make the transitional packages obsolete and reduce some complexity.
There is at least one dependency of all these packages that is waiting in experimental for its own transition. When it has started, these packages can be uploaded to unstable in a somehow organized process. I trust it is better to wait in order to be sure we don't interfere with anything :)
By the way, I noticed dimbl is a reverse dependency of ticcutils and timbl, and it has not been updated for ages. Could you also include it in your series of upcoming uploads please?
Please do reach out again after the transition of the packages has finished and we will proceed :)
Regards,
Best, -- Pierre
