That won't be necessary. Look at the latest changelog.Debian.gz entry
for fam:
fam (2.6.10-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release.
* After a long period of testing, I am finally sure that libfam0c102
definitely can provide libfam0 without introducing problems. libfam
is apparently completely "extern C".
(closes: Bug#176849, Bug#177970, Bug#181100, Bug#181104)

If I'm not mistaken, this means that the latest fam should enter
testing within some days.
