request for upload of new version of library following soname change



Hey there.

I maintain the notcurses package, which is already in the
archive. Recently, the soname changed, necessitating a new
package name (libnotcurses1 -> libnotcurses2). I understand this
needs go through NEW, but alas, I've been unable to reach my
previous uploader for over a week (please don't interpret this
as a knock on their volunteer efforts, which are very much
appreciated). I'd appreciate some DD taking mercy and uploading
to NEW for FTPMaster review.

I haven't uploaded to mentors, but I certainly can if that's
desirable. Source, architecture-all, and amd64 packages are
available from https://www.dsscaw.com/repos/apt/debian/pool/main/n/notcurses/.
See postscript for reprepro output.

The source package link is:
https://www.dsscaw.com/repos/apt/debian/pool/main/n/notcurses/notcurses_2.0.2+dfsg.1-1.dsc

The packaging is in Salsa, and was just now successfully rebuilt
without any lintian exceptions:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/notcurses/-/pipelines/191174

There were no major changes in terms of content between the
current packaged version (1.7.6) and this one (2.0.2). All code
changes were made by one of three people, all of whom are listed
in debian/copyright.

My apologies if this mail is at all contrary to best practice.
I just hope to bring Debian up-to-date wrt this package, and to
unblock https://mentors.debian.net/package/growlight/.
