I see that you already added a Provides: libsensors-dev. You can file bugs
(severity: <= normal) against the rdeps so they start moving to that, then
rename the package for bullseye when a majority of packages have been fixed. Or
rename it earlier and add a (versioned) provides on libsensors4-dev (but that
will need a decruft as otherwise sbuild will install the old, real package).
Go ahead with this one as is for now.
