Actually you want a transition slot. It will involve bin-nmus
but it's dealt differently than one-shot binnmu requests.
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ReleaseTeam/Transitions
Here's some ben configuration snippet that should be usable to track
the transition:
Affected: .build-depends ~ /libapt-pkg-dev/
Good: .depends ~ /libapt-pkg4.12|libapt-inst1.4/
Bad: .depends ~ /libapt-pkg4.10|libapt-inst1.2/
Release team, any idea when this transition can be scheduled?

This means that libept reverse dep also need to be updated right and that
it should happen at the same time than the apt transition...
In which case the ben config should be:
Affected: .build-depends ~ /libapt-pkg-dev|libept-dev/
Good: .depends ~ /libapt-pkg4.12|libapt-inst1.4|libept1.4.12/
Bad: .depends ~ /libapt-pkg4.10|libapt-inst1.2|libept1\b/
But I'm not quite sure how to ensure that libept1 doesn't match a dependency
on libept1.4.12...
Cheers,
