This is wrong, in my opinion.  The effect of this bug on platforms unaffected
by time64_t transition is exactly the same as on platforms affected by the
transition.  That is, on armhf and a few other platforms, *all* relevant packages
are being renamed without the compatible Provides, so all reverse-dependencies
has to be rebuilt.  On other platforms though (like amd64), the actual ABI isn't
changed and the rebuild/rename isn't really necessary, the new library provides
exactly the same ABI as the old one.  The fact that the new library does not
have proper Provides: just means it will be fixed a bit later when all reverse
dependencies will be rebuilt, that's all.  In other worlds, the package is
exactly as useful as before, it's just inconvenience which will be fixed soon,
nothing more.
