This is called transition and normal in sid. If you can't handle
temporary dependency breakage when stuff is rebuilt against a newer
library: don't use sid.

See http://release.debian.org/transitions/html/harfbuzz.html

In fact, at the time you filed this those rebuilds were already ongoing
(thoiugh amd64 failed because the hd got full).

As Julien already said (and thankfully closed the bug when I was
not available): not a bug.
