As Andreas noted in his forwarding message to the dev mailing list [1],
this is due to a change made upstream between versions 0.95.6 and 0.95.7
which changed the version from LIBWRASTER3 to LIBWRASTER5.

When I try rebuilding wdm against libwraster5 from version 0.95.7, it
works fine.  However, it still shows Depends on libwraster5 (>=
0.95.6).  So there's still a problem if, say, wdm had a binNMU against
0.95.7 and then someone were to install it alongside libwraster5 from
0.95.6.

I think the solution is to rename libwraster5 to something like
libwraster5v2 and trigger an auto transition.
