As far as I understand it, a tighter dependency would make britney
consider them as having to transition together, avoiding the issue with
the autopkgtests. It would recogince that migrating protobuf would make
ignition-msgs uninstallable, and so it would try them together.

Since ignition-msgs is the only package that has this issue, something
like the following should be enough:
In debian/control:
Depends: libprotobuf-dev (>= ${protobuf:Upstream-Version}), libprotobuf-dev (<
${protobuf:Upstream-Version}.1)
In debian/rules:
override_dh_gencontrol:
dh_gencontrol -- -Vprotobuf:Upstream-Version="$(shell dpkg-query -W -f
'$${Source:Upstream-Version}' libprotobuf-dev)"
(This might be a little to tight and depending on >= X.Y, < X.(Y+1)
would be enough).
But yes, depending on a protobuf-abi-$VER provided by libprotobuf-dev
could also work. It wouldn't work if provided by the shared library,
though, as they are co-installable.
