Uncoordinated cxxtools/tntnet SONAME bumps

Hi,

both cxxtools/tntnet have recently bumped SONAMEs. This means that:
 - your packages can't migrate because there are out-of-date binaries
   (packages named after the old SONAMEs); so they need be decrufted
   (request on the ftpmasters side).
 - they can't be decrufted because that would make vdr-plugin-live
   uninstallable.

I've just asked ftpmasters to go ahead with the decruft for both
source packages anyway, temporarily breaking vdr-plugin-live which
I've just scheduled binNMUs for, so that it gets updated dependencies
(thankfully it doesn't FTBFS, at least for my test build on amd64).

I know this isn't a full-fledged transition (few packages involved),
but it would be nice if you could coordinate with us in the future,
since we can have much more involved packages (the whole vdr* lot).

Tiny reminder, transitions are normally handled as documented on:
  http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ReleaseTeam/Transitions

even if we're getting closer and closer to the freeze, as reported
on debian-devel-announce@ lately:
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2012/05/msg00004.html

Mraw,
KiBi.
