No objection from me.

Care may need to be taken to not copy all packages at once, but stage
these for various transitions. Because if the new core library packages
(proj/geotiff/geos/spatialite/gdal/etc) are not built and installed in
the PPA yet, the other packages will build with the old versions.

It may be wise to stage this is ubuntugis-testing first to work out the
issues involved with the several transitions. I can setup transition
trackers for those to help get an overview of the various transitions,
although I'm currently busy packaging GRASS 7.2.0-RC1, but should have
time for that later this weekend.

Kind Regards,

Bas
