Bug#1141084: qt6-svg-dev: Dropping Provides: libqt6svg6-dev broke many packages

Package: qt6-svg-dev
Version: 6.10.2-8
Severity: important
Control: tags -1 ftbfs
Control: -1 affects src:avogadrolibs src:calamares src:drumkv1  src:kmetronome  src:libdrumstick src:ovito  src:padthv1 src:qjackctl src:qpdfview  src:regina-normal src:samplv1 src:stacer src:synthv1 src:vmpk

qt6-svg-dev 6.10.2-8 has dropped Provides: libqt6svg6-dev a month ago. Multiple
packages B-D: libqt6svg6-dev, so I think the correct transition would be filing
non-RC bugs for all of those, waiting, dropping Provides, bumping the
severities, optionally offering to do NMUs. Failing that, the bugs should have
been filed after dropping Provides. However I don't see any such bug reports,
the affected packages FTBFS in sid, and qt6-svg is unable to migrate for a
month. Are there any specific plans to finish this transition?

Not marking this RC in hopes that there are plans to fix the dependent packages
instead.

Thanks.
