That's actually an even cleaner solution.
Yes, if the new SONAME is uploaded before the v5 rename, and the new SONAME compiled with gcc < 5 has never been in Debian, then it makes the v5 rename unnecessary. I'm not sure how "a couple of weeks" is going to compare with the point at which this transition becomes part of the critical path. I'll leave the Shib stack alone for now, but I'll come back to this and NMU with the "v5" names if it becomes a blocker for the C++ Transition of Despair, because this process has taken long enough already.
