If you then run vnlog_fields_generated.h (which, again, #includes
vnlog.h) through abi-compliance-checker, you'll see that it passes. vnl-gen-header doesn't support any time-related types, so this is y2k38 safe.

If you are confident that it's y2k38 safe, feel free to revert the NMU
(which has already been uploaded but not yet accepted).

... however, I will say it's very strange to ship a shared library, that has
a public shlibs file, and has a -dev package that depends on it, but the headers shipped in that -dev package are NOT the authoritative api for that library?

What I'm unclear on is why you don't run vnl-gen-header at build time
and output the "generated" header in the -dev package with a
comprehensive description of all the ABI entry points?

Each user of libvnlog-dev would give different arguments to
vnl-gen-header, and would get a different generated header file. So
there isn't a single generated header I can produce when building the
vnlog packages.
