[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1014639: pipewire-audio-client-libraries: please provide transitional package

Source: pipewire
Version: 0.3.54-1
Severity: wishlist

Now that pipewire-alsa and pipewire-jack are available, it would probably
be a good idea to reintroduce pipewire-audio-client-libraries as a
transitional package that depends on them both. This will allow bullseye
systems with pipewire-audio-client-libraries installed to transition to
being bookworm systems with pipewire-alsa and pipewire-jack installed,
without having to remove any packages (which apt solvers will try to avoid).

This would require pipewire-alsa and pipewire-jack to have Breaks/Replaces
on pipewire-audio-client-libraries (<< 0.3.54-1~) instead of unversioned
Breaks/Replaces, but versioned Breaks/Replaces are generally preferred over
unversioned anyway.
