The above issues remain in the SAGA 2.2.6 packaging.

The saga-depends executable and version specific virtual package need to
be updated for every new upstream release because they include the full
upstream version.

I've added a templates target also used in the grass packaging to set
the upstream version in debian/control & debian/saga-depends. You can
call this manually to update the files in git, and it's also a
dependency of the override_dh_auto_configure target to have the files
regenerated from the .in templates for every build.

The triangle & gridding module issues are fixed upstream, making the
package pretty much ready for upload now.

Because the package will have to pass the NEW queue for saga-common, now
is a good time to split libsaga into separate packages matching the
SONAME (libsaga-api-2.2.6 & libsaga-gdi-2.2.6). Because the upstream
version is part of the package name then, you don't need to saga-depends
helper and virtual libsaga-2.2.6 package any more.

Do you want to split the library package or rather keep them bundled in
libsaga for now?

Kind Regards,

Bas
