This is low-risk, as we have no reverse-dependencies in the archive. This bumps some SONAMEs (libmiral4 -> libmiral5, libmircore1 -> libmircore2, libmiroil1 -> libmiroil2).
The autopkgtest (checking conformance against in-archive wlcs) passes.

Since it's early and there's no reverse depends indeed, I don't see any reason not to proceed (especially with autopkgtests present). Please feel free to upload.
