From my observations on other major transitions, I believe it is typically
handled by announcing and maintaining a public, central non-bts place to keep
track of all major problems (including lists of affected packages [ORDER BY
maint]) until 75-90% of the transition is finished and only afterwards file
bugs on those packages that still pose problems. This often also included
maintaining a external repository with all changed packages (see SELinux for
example).
