Please don’t understand me wrong, I’m not against a sensible solution

Once it's in stable, this mess is a lot harder to fix, so it's not ok to
just leave it screwed up for now.
I don’t have much time right now (got to go), but I’ve got a better

that package is in much less health and should perhaps be replaced
by a transitional package instead.
How about starting a sort of transition to the split packages instead?

I don't know if this will work or not. If it will, sounds good.
