Hi Mike,

Thank you for your efforts.

If you plan on doing this transition for Jessie, please do keep the "5th
of September" deadline in mind[1].  Please also consider filing a
transition bug to help us (the release team) get an overview of the
affected packages at your earliest convenience.

Thank you in advance,
~Niels
