The ball is really in the release manager half for the moment.

What you can do is check that the new version is indeed API-compatible
with the old one by installing liblo-dev from experimental and checking
that lv2fil and zynjacku build and work correctly with it

If the new liblo improvements are really important for lv2fil and
zynjacku, you could consider preparing a package for experimental.

When the release manager agree with liblo7 moving to sid, all the
packages depending on liblo0 will be rebuilt to use liblo7. that's a
semi-automatic process known as binNMU.

hth,
