I wonder whether g++-5 should artificially bump the minimum
dependency version for libstdc++6, so that *everything* built with
libstdc++6 picks up the (>= 5) dependency? Yes, that'll mean rebuilt
packages can't transition until libstdc++6 does, which is why it is normally
undesired (hence symbols files); but in practice it seems a reasonable
number of e.g. KDE packages that are transitioning are broken anyway.
It would certainly make the transition easier to track.
