I think Dmitry is referring to the rebuilding of libgdbm reverse dependencies which will be needed for this transition. This is automated by the release team (see the transitions policy) once a transition starts. For the transition to start, either all the FTBFS bugs you found need to be fixed in unstable, or the packages in question need removing from testing. You will have to file all the bugs manually, but I expect all the bugs will follow a similar template. James
