    Justification: library ABI skew on upgrade

    NOTICE: these changes must not be uploaded to unstable yet!

    Dear maintainer,

    As part of the 64-bit time_t transition required to support 32-bit architectures in 2038 and beyond (https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/64bit-time), we have identified
    bctoolbox as a source package shipping runtime libraries whose ABI
    either is affected by the change in size of time_t, or could not be
    analyzed via abi-compliance-checker (and therefore to be on the safe
    side we assume is affected).

    To ensure that inconsistent combinations of libraries with their reverse-dependencies are never installed together, it is necessary to
    have a library transition, which is most easily done by renaming the
    runtime library package.

    Since turning on 64-bit time_t is being handled centrally through a change
    to the default dpkg-buildflags (https://bugs.debian.org/1037136), it is important that libraries affected by this ABI change all be uploaded close together in time. Therefore I have prepared a 0-day NMU for bctoolbox
    which will initially be uploaded to experimental if possible, then to
    unstable after packages have cleared binary NEW.

    Please find the patch for this NMU attached.

    If you have any concerns about this patch, please reach out ASAP. Although this package will be uploaded to experimental immediately, there will be a period of several days before we begin uploads to unstable; so if information becomes available that your package should not be included in the transition, there is time for us to amend the planned uploads.

    The packages bctoolbox, belle-sip and linphone have been marked as
    affected by the 64-bit time_t transition. However, all these packages currently have new versions staged in experimental because their
    library packages had soname bumps unrelated to the 64-bit time_t
    transition (which you already noticed for belle-sip). As long as
    these staged versions actually make it into testing before the Trixie
    freeze there should be no need for these NMU diffs, correct?

    Since turning on 64-bit time_t is being handled centrally through a change
    to the default dpkg-buildflags (https://bugs.debian.org/1037136), it is important that libraries affected by this ABI change all be uploaded close together in time.

    I presume the need for "close together in time" is to prevent
    interoperability issues from cropping up in unstable between shared
    library versions on different sides of the time_t transition. How
    timely would our staged versions need to be uploaded to unstable to
    obviate the need for the NMUs? I ask because it is very difficult to
    say with a useful degree of certainty when these staged versions will
    actually reach testing. Experience has shown that linphone stack
    transitions are prone to being afflicted by (sometimes multi-month)
    delays due to being blocked by other transitions, and I see no open
    bugreport for linphone on the release.debian.org pseudopackage, so
    Berni (who will do these uploads) apparently has not yet applied for a
    new transition slot.

    Regards.

    Dear maintainer,

    Please find attached a final version of this patch for the time_t
    transition. This patch is being uploaded to unstable.

    Note that this adds a versioned build-dependency on dpkg-dev, to guard
    against accidental backports with a wrong ABI.

    Thanks!
