I'm confused here.  There seems to be a libsidplayfp "transitional"
package in sid, depending on the new libsidplayfp3. That seems broken,
since there's been a SONAME change.
 Yes, the SONAME is changed and the libsidplay package is only here to
pull in libsidplayfp3 where it may be present without
audacious-plugins installed. For audacious-plugins the breakage will
be fixed with the binNMU.
Next time should I just leave libsidplay on the system as an empty
package without informing users (without the transition) it has a new
library package?

No, libsidplayfp needs to be dropped entirely. libdisplayfp-dev should (as it does) depend on libsidplayfp3. Please do that and re-upload as soon as possible.

In a SONAME change you absolutely do not want users of the old SONAME package (libdisplayfp) building against the new SONAME (libdisplayfp3). That's why you have a -dev package in the first place. See libinput for an example of how it's done.

We don't appear to have a transition tracker for this one, I've set it up at https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/libsidplayfp.html

(libsidplayfp3 also suggests sidplay2fp, which doesn't exist...)
