Bug#968852: transition: cfitsio

[Aurelien Jarno <aurel32@debian.org>]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition

Dear release team,

I would like to request a transition slot for cfitsio, changing the
library name from libcfitsio8 to libcfitsio9. The version 3.480
introducing the ABI change has been in experimental for a few months. I
have just uploaded version 3.490 which is a mostly a bug fixes release
without new features.

I have locally rebuilt all the reversed dependencies on amd64, and found
only 3 FTBFS for packages that are only in sid:
- freeture (#922579)
- munipack (#957572)
- theli (#968638)

There is already a tracker available here:

https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-cfitsio.html

Thanks for considering

Regards
Aurelien
