Last transition took 1.5 months but it was a bigger one than this:

Where do you "discuss with the motu-release team members"? On
ubuntu-motu@ mailing list?

I think that is more or less what I have in mind:
* block for now Karmic and follow the transition in Debian unstable;
* once the transition is done in Unstable, decide if all packages
should be imported & rebuilt in Karmic or not.

My main issue with the transition is that there is now way to
backtrack if things go wrong. Once ocaml 3.11.1 source package is
imported in karmic, *all* other packages should be rebuilt and they
should build successfully or dropped. There are about 246 binary
packages to track.

Yours,
