Switching *source* package need no coordination.

Do you perhaps ask because at the same time you also bumped major 
version of *binary* packages?  If that's the case then (independent of 
the change of source package) those should be properly tested before 
pusing to unstable, and any breaking changes should be coordinated with 
affected reverse dependencies.
