Bug#951209: transition: libgusb

[Laurent Bigonville <bigon@debian.org>]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition

Hello,

libgusb is carrying in debian a patch[0] to revert/fix an after the fact
change that was done upstream in the versioning of the symbols.

I don't think we should/can carry this patch forever and due to the fact
that the number of reverse-dependencies is quite limited, I was planning
to simply drop it, but that would require to binNMU them to be
certain they are using the correct version of the symbol.

r-deps are:
  colord
  colorhug-client
  fwupd
  gnome-multi-writer
  simple-scan

I quickly tested and among of these, only fwupd seems impacted.

I updated the .symbols file of libgusb2 so the symbols affcted by this
version change will generate a dependency against the lastest version of
the library.

Could you please give me the greenlight to upload the new version of
libgusb and then schedule a binNMU of fwupd (or all the rdeps if you
prefere)

Kind regards,

Laurent Bigonville
