Err, false start, I forgot to account for the libcamitk5 to 6
soname bump, that needs to go through experimental via New and
be coordinated with the Release Team.  As I haven't seen much
reverse dependencies for libcamitk beyond packages within
camitk, maybe passing through the Release Team is not strictly
needed, but some extra cleanup steps look to be needed that may
require manual intervention anyway.  The processus is decribed
in the transition documentation[1].

For the moment, the only change to bring to the package is to
edit the debian/changelog to target "experimental" instead of
"unstable".  After uploading, the package will be waiting for
manual review in the New queue[2] for manual review, to make
sure that everything is in consistent state and legal, from a
copyright and license perspective.  You may proceed to change
the target suite in debian/changelog tomorrow, or I'll do it
myself tomorrow evening when proceeding to the rebuild and
upload to New.

Have a nice day,  :)
