Are there likely to be any issues if the transition migrated in stages -
i.e. if the new libffi including libffi6 and the old libffi5 binary
(kept around by britney) co-exist in testing - and rebuilt binaries
migrate as and when they're ready, rather than needing to have the
entire set ready at once?
