Thanks for making it clear. With the transition progresses I have to bump
the severity of this bug onto serious. Among all libtidy's reverse dependencies,
3 packages FTBFS (whilst 2 of them are arch:all) and the other two have found
the solution and updated the dependency.

I tried but ratt [1] turned out not to handle transition well and
reported the wrong answer to me... I will surely find a better alternative
next time.
