It would be good to disentangle the package split (which due to the Breaks will
mean we need a lockstep transition with all or most packages migrating at the
same time) from the libwmf-config removal. If you reintroduce the script and the
rdeps build against the new libwmf version, then we can go ahead with this, and
libwmf-config could be removed after the transition. Otherwise we'll need to
wait until those packages are fixed.

Cheers,
