Thanks for this bug report and for the upload to experimental, Steve. 

I am hereby forwarding your message to the upstream author.

> Dear maintainer,
>
> As part of the 64-bit time_t transition required to support 32-bit 
> architectures in 2038 and beyond 
> (https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/64bit-time), we have identified 
> librsb as a source package shipping runtime libraries whose ABI 
> either is affected by the change in size of time_t, or could not be 
> analyzed via abi-compliance-checker (and therefore to be on the safe 
> side we assume is affected).
>
> To ensure that inconsistent combinations of libraries with their 
> reverse-dependencies are never installed together, it is necessary to 
> have a library transition, which is most easily done by renaming the 
> runtime library package.
>
> Since turning on 64-bit time_t is being handled centrally through a change 
> to the default dpkg-buildflags (https://bugs.debian.org/1037136), it is 
> important that libraries affected by this ABI change all be uploaded close 
> together in time.  Therefore I have prepared a 0-day NMU for librsb 
> which will initially be uploaded to experimental if possible, then to 
> unstable after packages have cleared binary NEW.
>
> Please find the patch for this NMU attached.
>
> If you have any concerns about this patch, please reach out ASAP.  Although 
> this package will be uploaded to experimental immediately, there will be a 
> period of several days before we begin uploads to unstable; so if information 
> becomes available that your package should not be included in the transition, 
> there is time for us to amend the planned uploads.
