It also means that at least gettext will need to get reboostrapped on all architectures. Indeed the new libxml2-dev won't be co-installable with debhelper, which is a build-dependency of gettext: - libxml2-dev will depend on libxml2n - debhelper will still depend (through debhelper) on libxml2 What are the plans with regard to that? Note that I haven't check further in the (build)-dependency tree.
On IRC aurel32 suggested to add a "Provides: libxml2" during the transition to provide a smooth-update path, which is now implemented in the version in experimental. I understand that will work around the problem raised above.
I believe that in general we're OK with going this route. I leave the actual planning to pochu, Sebastinas and ginggs as they handle most regular transitions.
