This is a (not complete) list of the ongoing library transitions in unstable. Links to the relevant lists of bugs are provided, for NMUers convenience. Remember to tag pending the bugs you fix in the DELAYED queue.
(Personally, I would not add a transition here until the affected library has been compiled in all arches, so that bumping build-dependencies is not needed. There can be exceptions, though. --?AdeodatoSimo)
[TODO: if a way to sort by "bug has tag set by this user", claimed bugs can be listed in their own category.]
