The transition only completed because the Release Team intervened and
"forced the vtk6 build to workaround the dose issue".

Try to build the affected packages on the buildds, or talk to Release
Team about what they exactly did to force those builds to succeed.

I only know that this issue was preventing the vtk6 builds on the
buildds, those didn't have proper support yet at least. You should ask
the buildd admins whether the fixed this issue too. #786803 is only for
britney which does testing migrations, it doesn't add support for
versioned provides to the buildds.

I can't help you further, I was only affected by your choice to enable
versioned provides. As long as they're not documented in the Debian
Policy you cannot expect all tools to handle them, britney is only one
of many.

Kind Regards,

Bas
