You don’t need to pull the whole transition, that’s the point of my proposal.

Alternatively, if testing is so broken you need that new upstream version and it can build against the testing libraries, you can use testing-proposed-updates - in all cases, for both testing and rolling, a targeted fix being preferable. -- .''`.
