The maintainer normally actively participates in the discussion here,
and gives people help, but he is super busy at the moment, so I just
want to go as furthest as possible without waiting on him. Moreover,
the discussions so far are only on the library transition building
general information, and has not much to do with his specific package.
I.e., the discussions will be helpful to the next library transition
building volunteers.

So I build with experimental build-dep via:
sbuild -s -v -A --no-clean-source -d unstable --extra-repository='deb
http://deb.debian.org/debian experimental main'
--build-dep-resolver=aspcud gnuastro
and when I check my results, I got:
$ dpkg-deb -f libgnuastro11_0.13-1_amd64.deb Depends
libc6 (>= 2.29), libcfitsio9 (>= 3.480~), libgit2-28 (>= 0.26.0),
libgsl25 (>= 2.6), libjpeg62-turbo (>= 1.3.1), libtiff5 (>= 4.0.3),
libwcs7 (>= 5.0)
Although the build passed, I'm still not sure if it passed for the new
libgit2-glib-1.0-0, or if it passed for the old libgit2-28 (>=
0.28.1). Looks to me it is the latter. So now I have to come back to
the old question

So I'm not controlling it and let the build process choose on its own.
Now, with the above result, can I safely say that
libgnuastro11_0.13-1_amd64.deb is safe to build with the new libgit2?
