This is a long debate ;)
Technically this is up to the maintainers to request a transition slot:
https://wiki.debian.org/OngoingTransitions
In any case you are simply *using* those libs, everything should occur
without you noticing anything (well if it is going smoothly).
Within a sid/schroot (or any virtual machine) you can try out if
compilation goes smoothy. For example you could add `experimental` to
your `/etc/apt/sources.list`, pull gdcm2.4 and try to rebuild CamITK
using GDCM 2.4. That will help once the GDCM transition kicks in.
In any case the next freeze period has already been annonced so read
carefully about what is allowed during the freeze period and what's
not ;)
