Bug#984638 has requested a backport of h5py to buster in order to
support other packages used on it.
Usually I'd expect that wording to mean an upload to buster-backports,
rather than p-u, particularly when the difference between the two
versions is not small.
[✓] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[✓] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[o] attach debdiff against the package in testing
(debdiff against package in stable is large)
Unfortunately, for a stable update, the debdiff against stable is the
one that's relevant. The diff against a different version of the
package tells us very little about the impact on stable.
In this case, the diff against stable is:
234 files changed, 12222 insertions(+), 7584 deletions(-)
This really feels like a candidate for a backports update, rather than
a stable update. https://backports.debian.org/Contribute/ has more
information, if you're not familiar with the process.
