Hi,

I would like to do a transition for the CFITSIO library. Upstream
finally decided to support shared libraries and to ensure the soname
will change if the ABI changes. This will makes the maintenance in
Debian more easy and will avoid Debian specific changes to keep the ABI
stable.

I have uploaded a package with the new library to experimental 1.5
months ago, and my plan was to fill the transition bug once the package
reaches experimental. Unfortunately the package still sits into NEW 
despite a ping a few days ago. I am therefore filling this bug before
the deadline in the hope we can still do this transition for Jessie.

The API hasn't changed beside new functions, so this transition should
be quite easy to handle via binNMUs only.

Thanks,
Aurelien

That's all done now.
