The /var/lock change is a good change for us to target. We can't do it 
without coordinating a transition[1]. I look forward to this change
to the distro, and think it's a good thing for the ecosystem to move to.  
I'm happy to see this change in general.

Because I don't like the idea of TC being involved on an ongoing basis 
with implementation *and* transition, so i'd rather be clear on the 
acceptable end-state and let the project work it out - I vote:

A > C > B > N

[1]: The Release Team considers everything a transition where the upload 
      of a package requires changes (rebuilds or actual patches) to reverse 
      dependencies. (from https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ReleaseTeam/Transitions)
