That was my doing, on the basis that the transition should never have
happened.

Because I wasn't properly subscribed to this bug (due to using my mail@
address which procmail can't handle), I never knew the transition was
pushed through against my wishes, until I went to update lttoolbox to a
newer release.

There are only 2 other packages that depend on lttoolbox: apertium and
apertium-lex-tools, and I maintain those as well. All 3 are part of the
same upstream project, and are updated together if there are breaking
changes.

And because lttoolbox 3.3 was not even in testing at the time, nothing
outside my control could have built up dependencies on it, and indeed
nothing has.

The v5 transition was entirely unnecessary for this package, and I very
strongly want it gone.
