I just realized that transitions like the upcoming FFMPEG SONAME bump [1] only pick up for binNMU packages that *depend* on the libraries being bumped. Is there a mechanism for automatic binNMUs for packages that only recommend/suggest a library being bumped?
There is no mechanism for automatic binNMUs for packages that depend on it either :) It's done by the Release Team manually based on the package list generated on the transition tracker page. So what you want can be done either by making a similar tool and integrating it into the Release Team workflows, or, probably, changing the transition tracker condition for your specific library (ffmpeg) to also match Recommends. I don't think most of other shared library packages are in some Recommends.
