Providing bin:woff-tools as a transitional package from src:sfnt2woff-zopfli with compat links?



Hi!

src:woff-tools popped up on BOTD today,
and the consensus of the salvage team was to replace it with an upstream
that exists, and that's src:sfnt2woff-zopfli.

I've prepared a Salsa MR (idk if anyone gets notifications, hence the mail)
  https://salsa.debian.org/fonts-team/sfnt2woff-zopfli/-/merge_requests/1
that does this transparently to the user
(and will, if uploaded, allow for a RM on src:woff-tools).
I also ported the patchset from src:woff-tools
and fixed the outstanding bug that affects them both.

This yields
  $ debdiff sfnt2woff-zopfli_1.3.1-1_amd64.deb sfnt2woff-zopfli_1.3.1-2_amd64.deb
  [The following lists of changes regard files as different if they have
  different names, permissions or owners.]
  
  Files in second .deb but not in first
  -------------------------------------
  lrwxrwxrwx  root/root   /usr/bin/sfnt2woff -> sfnt2woff-zopfli
  lrwxrwxrwx  root/root   /usr/bin/woff2sfnt -> woff2sfnt-zopfli
  lrwxrwxrwx  root/root   /usr/share/man/man1/sfnt2woff.1.gz -> sfnt2woff-zopfli.1.gz
  lrwxrwxrwx  root/root   /usr/share/man/man1/woff2sfnt.1.gz -> woff2sfnt-zopfli.1.gz
  
  Control files: lines which differ (wdiff format)
  ------------------------------------------------
  Depends: libc6 (>= [-2.29),-] {+2.34), libzopfli1,+} zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4)
  Installed-Size: [-144-] {+68+}
  Version: [-1.3.1-1-] {+1.3.1-2+}
and should pose no additional maintenance burden
(except replacing the transitional package with a Provides: in forky),
since the CLI API is preserved with a .links file that should never need changing.

Best,
