Why would we need to transition packages?
If we're going to have something like usrmerge run eventually,
It seems like things will be much simpler if we forbid or at least
strongly discourage package level transitions in the bookworm cycle.
Doing that seems to be closer to the consensus of what we're discussing
here than spending effort transitioning packages.
