My bad. So solely `reverse-depends -b` may miss something. I'll
investigate and append results to the transition bug.

I personally dislike making the old package libtbb2-dev.
How about we make the old src:tbb package go through NEW again
with the following renames:
libtbb-dev -> libtbb-legacy-dev, this sounds much better than libtbb2-dev
because it explains itself to be a to-be-deprecated version.
In this way we can finish the transition very quickly and leave
longer time for broken packages to migrate to onetbb.
For me, submitting patches is as well much easier as I only have to
change libtbb-dev -> libtbb-legacy-dev for broken packages.
