I really appreciate the diligence and detail you put into this. But I would like to offer a simple shortcut. I am also CCing debian-r again as this has come up time and time again, is guaranteed to come up again for as long as combine autopkgtests with letting packages go stake.
Somehow I feel you missed my point. In Debian we also care about preventing partial upgrades doing the wrong thing. I explicitly noted that in unstable everything is fine, so I think I acknowledge what you said. However, for the migration to automatically happen and to (possibly, I leave that for you (packages maintainers) to judge) prevent issues with partial upgrades there needs to be some *versioned* package relation somewhere.
