No transition is needed, and as upstream I would really prefer no
transition is forced.

The symbols are part of the public API, but the only reverse dependencies
are apertium and apertium-lex-tools which are part of the same software
suite and almost always updated together.

Besides, the packages are new in unstable, so no other dependencies could
have built up in previous releases.
