Hi,

I'm referenced for 55 packages. Please don't force me to do this right
away, that's too much work. I very much would prefer if we could have a
smoother transition.

Note that it's possible that for many packages mentioned, only removing
the dependency should be enough. Still, that's some work to do... :/

Other alternative would be: help with NMU fixes (or I can add any of you
in the OpenStack team if you need...).

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
