Packages in unstable are not binNMU'd against dependencies from experimental, and this transition is mostly about what happens in unstable. assimp does not appear to have any C++ dependencies other than libstdc++, and the current policy is that the v5 transitions can be started for any package whose dependencies have started their transitions, so please upload either 3.0 or 3.1.1 to unstable with the libassimp3v5 package name. Upload whichever version you consider to be lower-risk. Alternatively, if you would like someone to do a 3.0-based NMU using the patches from Ubuntu, that can be done (and probably will be soon if no other action is taken, because Julien is trying to get the majority of the transitions started before scheduling more binNMUs).
