I know libdata-messagepack-stream-perl and tmate already have fixes

should be able to NMU in the next couple days.

Also, binNMUs should use "--add-depends 'libmsgpack-c-dev (>= 6)'" to
ensure they rebuild with the new package.

Can you instead provide a transitional package? That will help with the rdeps and especially with the reverse build-depends. Effectively once libmsgpack-dev is decrufted, those rdeps will be RC-buggy as they build-depend on a virtual package.

The other alternative is to file bugs already for those packages asking to build-dep on libmsgpack-c-dev, in which case we don't need to add the extra-depends.

My concern is that any future upload or binNMU for an unrelated reason will pick up libmsgpack-dev.
