Everything is expected to be rebuilt before any of these packages actually end up getting removed. However, if the dates get closer and things are not resolved I would recommend 1) subscribing to the removal bugs for the packages that are causing you problems, 2) asking a question on those bug reports if anyone knows what needs to be fixed and when it is expected to happen, 3) subscribing to debian-devel-announce where this transition is being discussed, and 4) asking Steve Langasek <vorlon@debian.org> on that mailing list if he has any insights (only if desperate on this forth one as Steve is very busy handling this transition and probably doesn’t have time to respond to ever single email, especially if the information is already available somewhere else).
