You see correctly. And I see nothing contradictory with the directions
given by Matthias:
>  - If a library transition is needed, please prepare for the change.
>    Rename the library package, append "v5" to the name of the package

The soname bump was stated the 18th of july in this bug log [1] and I've
spend quite some hours checking that every rdepends builds fine. The
only few FTBFSs are either sid only, or low popcon with no rdepends, and
anyway not caused by hdf5 at all [2]

So where does this 'MUST NOT' come from just now that all that work is over?
