This change was recently reverted and I'm not convinced that this was a
good idea.

That was my doing, on the basis that the transition should never have happened.

Because I wasn't properly subscribed to this bug (due to using my mail@ address which procmail can't handle), I never knew the transition was pushed through against my wishes, until I went to update lttoolbox to a newer release.

There are only 2 other packages that depend on lttoolbox: apertium and apertium-lex-tools, and I maintain those as well. All 3 are part of the same upstream project, and are updated together if there are breaking changes.

And because lttoolbox 3.3 was not even in testing at the time, nothing outside my control could have built up dependencies on it, and indeed nothing has.

The v5 transition was entirely unnecessary for this package, and I very strongly want it gone.
