I still not understand: why do I need a binNMU? Only two packages depend
on the shared library, both packaged are maintained by myself and I have
new versions of them in sync with the library. Even if the latter would
not be the case -- since I am the maintainer, I could just upload a new
(unchanged) release to trigger recompilation.
By reading [1], I could not completely follow how the transition is
usually done, who is involved etc. I already have filed a transition
bug. The release team will now setup a transition page, right? What
should I do after this happened? And how is my sponsor involved in the
whole process?
Best regards
