[Pkg-javascript-devel] how to best handle uglifyjs.terser -> terser migration

Package node-terser provides binary package uglifyjs.terser containing a 
command-line tool by the same name.

Upstream has dropped that and instead provides command-line tool terser.

This change has been prepared in experimental, with a "Breaks" in place.

Problem is: 45 packages build-depends on uglifyjs.terser :-(

How to most sensibly handle a transition?

I cannot File 45 bugreports requesting packages to change at their own 
pace, because it needs to happen at once.

Any thoughts?


Kind regards,

 - Jonas
