Hi,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. As far as I can tell, the
mono transition shares packages with the vtk8.5 transition, but we will
let you know when we can stat this.
If you haven't already done so, please head to [1] (or [2]) to verify
the list of affected source packages.

Sounds good. :)

Do you have a list/table of the ~30 binNMUable packages that tells us
which of them are libs and which are not? Alternatively can we just go
by "dependency level" from the transition tracker package (starting with
the bottom/level 10)?
