For the next time: please file a transition bug before uploading SONAME
changes to unstable. See also
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ReleaseTeam/Transitions. I am now turning
this into a transition bug report so that it is on our radar.
In any case, the mongo-c-driver version already migrated to testing, so
I think helping to fix the remaining build issues with patches/uploads
is the best course of action to finish this transition as soon as
possible. If the blocking bugs do not already have patches, please check
if upstream already has fixes or help getting it fixed.
Cheers
