Re: unicode-data 17.0.0 transition

Hi,

I'm seeking permission/advice on uploading unicode-data 17.0.0 to unstable.

This is not a standard transition; a number of packages need rebuilding
and in some cases new versions, but there is no BEN file or easy way to
write one.

I propose that for each affected package, Built-Using: ${Built-Using}
should be present.

To the best I can discover (thanks everyone), the following packages are
affected and need to be rebuilt:

(See https://salsa.debian.org/debian/unicode-data/-/wikis/home for a
live note):

   * console-data
       o Builds ok
   * slang2
       o Builds ok
   * fntsample
       o Builds ok
   * gucharmap
       o FTBFS. Needs new 17.0.1 upstream.
   * re2
       o Builds ok
   * python-unicodedata2
       o FTBFS. New upstream 17.0.0 builds ok
   * meli
       o Builds ok
   * node-regexpp
       o Builds ok
   * courier-unicode
       o Builds ok
   * golang-github-mattn-go-runewidth
       o FTBFS. New upstream 0.0.19 also doesn't trivially build, has
         missing dependencies
       o #1122257 <https://bugs.debian.org/1122257>
   * libxmlada
     <https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libxmlada/-/blob/debian/master/debian/README>

       o FTBFS. New upstream 26.0.0. FTBFS with unicode 16 already:
         |raised ADA.ASSERTIONS.ASSERTION_ERROR : file name too long:
         Tangut_Components_Supplement|
   * node-unicode-data
       o Builds package node-unicode-16.0.0 ; builds ok with changes 16 -> 17
   * unicode-idna
       o Needs to move to upstream 17.0.0; trivial
       o Doesn't depend on unicode-data. Merge unicode-idna into
         unicode-data?
   * unicode-cldr-core
       o At v46. Should be updated to v48 for Unicode 17
       o Do NMU, Propose merging into unicode-data?
   * utf8proc
       o 2.10.0 FTBFS, New upstream 2.11.3 works
   * wine
       o level2. Depends on unicode-idna, unicode-cdlr-core
       o FTBFS on unrelated issue

This sounds like it's in a reasonable shape. Please go ahead and file bugs for those packages that need updates.

Cheers,
Emilio
