Sorry about that. I was going to do uploads for eclib and flint right
now with a lower priority than ntl (medium vs low) and didn't think this
single binNMU of linbox would need a transition tracker and all that.

It's still a transition, whether there's a tracker for it or not.

May I upload eclib and flint?

If they don't work with the new libntl, then I guess that should be
okay.

I've scheduled the binNMU for linbox so as to avoid longer term breakage
in unstable; let's see what happens. (Please don't take that as
precedent for the likely grumpiness for future uploads. :P)

I nudged ntl, eclib and flint into testing yesterday.
