Can you open bug reports for the rdeps that need patches and make them block
this bug? Also file bugs for your recommendations (e.g. ship .proto files) and
the code copy, though those are not blockers IIUC.

Please go ahead with this if you are ready to NMU the rdeps after the transition
starts (assuming the maintainers don't do it, of course).
