Ok, perfect, and thanks for reaching out via debian-science.
Anyway I'll upload libmseed3 to experimental and I think it will stay
there for a while. The other tools depending on libmseed (mseed2sac,
sac2mseed) still need libmseed2, and apparently they are not compatible
with libmseed3. Upstream don't seems to care as they ship libmseed2 with
the tools as a vendored library, but we want to use the Debian packaged one.

Well I co-maintain the package with you (see our email exchange of
September 2018), and I have upload rights for it :)
