I have talked to upstream, there does not seem to be an easy solution,
except for bundling these two repositories into one source package.

For now, the solution I am adopting is to break the cycle by ignoring
the little package in -common that depends in -dev during build/testing,
and copying manually the files at the end.

This does not solve the binary package cycle, though, but I think the
source cycle is the most important one. Also, I have removed the
transitional package from the cycle, as that was just a mistake.
