I found time to wrap up sra-sdk 3.0.0+dfsg-1, which I've now uploaded to
experimental by way of NEW (where it is of course still sitting).  I
gave architecture support the benefit of the doubt for now; in the
likely event that we have to rein it back in, I'm inclined to do so for
all architecture-dependent packages rather than trying to arrange for
builds on semi-supported architectures to build only some
architecture-dependent packages.

I realized at the last minute (in the course of confirming that sra-sdk
passes its autopkgtest) that I never merged in ngs-sdk's, which is
likely to need formal adjustments per layout changes; we should try to
remember to do so before uploading to unstable.

Also, while scanning for copyright notices, I observed convenience
copies of several separately packaged libraries.  I left their handling
as is for now, but it would be good to look into switching to the
separately packaged copies.
