Bug#1074232: transition: stk

[IOhannes m zmoelnig]

The latest version of STK fixes #1051564.
Unfortuatenly STK upstream refuses to commit to semversioning their library,
and instead attaches the release-version to the libraryname,
following best practices as laid out in
.

In any case, the Debian package has so far followed this scheme (which requires
a new binary package for every non-minor release), and the plan is
to continue to do so (upstream is not very active these days).

The new library name requires a transition for the reverse dependencies.

I've done a test-build of the rdeps using 'ratt', and have not encountered any
problems (the project's API is pretty stable)

Thanks for scheduling a transition.
