Then please follow the normal library transition procedure:
- Prepare a libupnp-dev provided by pupnp-1.8 in experimental.
- If reverse build dependencies of libupnp-dev do not build with the version in
  experimental, file bugs.
- Coordinate the transition with the release team.

This avoid a lot of really unnecessary changes in build dependencies.

Thanks!

A patch for 1.8 support has been merged. Once the transition starts, vlc will
switch to 1.8.
