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.

Unfortunately I just realized this patch is not enough. :/ This library
emits direct syscalls, so these are going to be broken with the time_t
size change, the syscalls need to be updated. I'm checking how to best
fix this, perhaps even via dual-ABI, to avoid the transition
altogether, but let's see.

I guess this might have been missed for other packages that that emit
direct syscalls and are not using the time64 variants for those
already.

Thanks,
Guillem

Just as a status update, I've got most of this working, but upstream
does not tend to be very responsive, so I think I'll do a proper
SONAME bump with my proposed changes for the dual-ABI, to avoid any
potential clashes with anything that gets upstream, and to make a
revert easier, by reusing the t64 library names. And then once/if this
gets merged upstream I can revert that and simply do the proper
dual-ABI on the old SONAME and package names, as if nothing had
happened (except for the required rebuilds).

Hopefully I can have something for upload today or tomorrow, hoping
that this delay up to now, does not block too many things. :/

Thanks,
Guillem

I've got all the upstream changes now ready, except that there's still
one test case failing, something wrong with the sigset_t type. I've run
out of time trying to track this down, but I've pushed what I have on
the pu/time64 branch, and will continue later today.
