I did indeed miss this, and I very much appreciate the prior warning
you gave, the issuance of bug report notifications to the various
maintainers, and the huge scale of the problem faced with a major
transition like this. However I do feel that it was a shame that the
transition went ahead regardless as to at least one very popular
application - libreoffice - not being ready, resulting in the
unfortunate situation we have now. (I would of course not be so
unreasonable to expect transitions to wait for every last package to be
ready, but the really popular ones and their deps...).
