My thinking exactly. Especially since we plan to upload it to
stable/oldstable as well I think it is better to let the release team
know early about the binNMUs in stable/oldstable.
During rebuilds I noticed that libclamunrar6 has a manual depend on
libclamav6. Nothing changed in its source between 0.98.5 and 0.99-rc2
(except for comments). The 0.99 source will produce a libclamunrar.so.7
so the package should be named libclamunrar7.
The .so.7 here is required because clamav itself looks for it :/
|LibClamAV debug: searching for unrar, user-searchpath: /usr/lib

There is no libclamunrar_iface.so symlink around so it won't work
otherwise. So we can either upload a libclamunrar7 soon to exp in order
to clear the NEW queue or add a symlink "libclamunrar.so -> 
libclamunrar_iface.so.6" in order to make it work. I somehow prefer the
libclamunrar7 package due to the low amount of hackery involved :)
Any second opinion on this?

This is what I planned for the bug against release.d.o (once we settled
on libclamunrar):

 Subject: transition: clamav
 Package: release.debian.org
 User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
 Usertags: transition
 Severity: normal
 
 The upcoming version 0.99 of clamav will have a SONAME bump. Currently
 we have 0.99-rc2 in experimental which built everywhere (mips is
 Needs-Build at the time of writing).
 We would plan to upload the final 0.99 into unstable once upstream
 released it and we were allowed of doing so of course :)
 
 The auto tracker is okay, all reverse dependencies are:
 - libclamunrar
 - c-icap-modules
 - dansguardian
 - havp
 - python-clamav
 
 All packages build tested in sid-chroot against libclamav7 from
 experimental.

 In the last c-icap-modules upload (which is part of testing and
 unstable) the maintainer forgot to include the .so library that was built
 against libclamav-dev and as such the package is listed as `unknown` in the
 tracker (which is correct, no libclamav6 dependency). The bug #806757 has
 been filled regarding this issue.

 libclamunrar needs a source upload because it is has a manual
 dependency on libclamav6.
 
 After the upload to unstable we would plan to upload it to s-p-u and
 os-p-u so it can pop up in s/updates and os/update. This unfortunately
 triggers a transition stable and oldstable.
