   Section         : non-free/math

 It builds those binary packages:

       - get-orig-source uscan based target which downloads the currently
         packaged upstream tarball and repacks it;
       - default target which basically queries package status with uscan
         -- output in DEHS format;
       - debian/ man pages, now generated on fly by help2man through the
         autotools machinery.
       - debian/*:
         - propagate SONAME `current version' index change due to new ABI;
         - introduce `version script' files to consolidate the ABI;
         - explicit multi-arch support.
   * Gather headers into a dedicated folder named after the package.
   * Provide a library for each nauty `variant' wrt upstream source tarball.
   * Provide pkg-config support (only for the nauty `automatic variant').
   * Provide an ad hoc script to build (and clean) the upstream source examples.
   * Minor fixes, enhancements and full autotools support have been submitted to
     the upstream maintainers.
