libtensorflow.so FTBFS with double-conversion 3.0.0 so I need a snapshot
version of double-conversion. Updated package has been prepared in a
separate branch:

git@salsa.debian.org:science-team/double-conversion.git
 - lumin/3.0.0

 Dom-amd64:
 experimental: http://debomatic-amd64.debian.net/distribution#experimental/double-conversion/3.0.0+git20180802.4e8b3b5-1/buildlog
 cosmic: http://debomatic-amd64.debian.net/distribution#cosmic/double-conversion/3.0.0+git20180802.4e8b3b5-1u1/autopkgtest

 PPA:

I haven't checked API, but there is no ABI bump. Should I ask for a
transition slot and bump ABI anyway?
