Thanks to Mattia Rizzolo for the many recent NMUs fixing most of the
remaining packages that hadn't been updated for GSL 2 yet. This
transition is now at 95%.

The packages still marked as bad in the transition tracker are mostly
sid only. freefem++ cannot be built currently due to the openmpi
transition (#813128). apophenia, asymptote, rivet, thepeg & herwig++ are
only partially good due to build failures on some architectures.

Kind Regards,

Bas
