There are still binary packages depending on libotr2, once those are
fixed to depend on libotr5 then the binary packages from the old
libotr can be removed and the new one can migrate. I think, I'm not a
release team member though.
$ apt-cache rdepends libotr2
libotr2
Reverse Depends:
psi-plus-plugins
mcabber
libotr2-dev
libotr2-bin
bitlbee-plugin-otr
