Bug#815400: transition: ros-ros-comm

[Jochen Sprickerhof <debian-bts@jochen.sprickerhof.de>]

Hi,

we want to transition librosconsole to link against log4cxx instead of an
internal print version. librosconsole exports these symbols, so other packages
depend on the choice and we can't simply switch it. We went for a Soname bump
because it's Debian internal anyhow, as upstream declined to add one.

The new version of ros-ros-comm is in experimental already.

Ben file:

title = "ros-ros-comm";
is_affected = .depends ~ "librosconsole0d" | .depends ~ "librosconsole1d";
is_good = .depends ~ "librosconsole1d";
is_bad = .depends ~ "librosconsole0d";

We are maintainer of all reverse dependencies and we did test rebuilds already
and have all needed patches prepared. All rdepends are listed here:
