Is there a usual way to generate the dependency level lists ?  I ask
because I have a transition coming up for one of my packages, which I
am currently attempting to plan.  Debtree can do it in nice graph format
of course, but converting that to a written list might be error prone.

Ask the release team; they use
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/ben.git;a=summary for
the purpose and should be able to add transition pages for you.
