I don't believe it matters for the transition. 

FWIW: I just recommended to upload wlroots 0.20 to Unstable here:
https://salsa.debian.org/swaywm-team/wlroots/-/merge_requests/52#note_748430

So if you want to use/target wlroots 0.19, do it (really) quickly.
Otherwise, wait till 0.20 gets uploaded to Unstable and target that for
your new upstream version. It's up to you.

FTR: Guido Günther is (one of) the maintainer(s), so they'll make the
actual decision. I'm just helping out.
