MeshLab update ready to review/sponsor



Hello Debian scientists!

I have completed the update of the MeshLab package to 2020.09, which was
the latest upstream release before this morning. It is presently in
Salsa, ready for review and sponsorship:

https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/meshlab

As is common with this project, upstream shuffled/added some bundled
deps, so the files-excluded list got updated as did the rest of the
copyright file, which was the bulk of the work. On the plus side, the
file now mostly is the same as the output of `cme update
dpkg-copyright`, which should reduce maintenance burden.

I don't have time this week to look at 2020.12, released today, but it
does make our Files-Excluded work much harder through some build system
modification/re-org. I've opened some discussions with upstream about
these changes, and hopefully they'll revise them so we can have an
easier-to-package 2021.01, and maybe just skip 2020.12 entirely.

This will fix https://bugs.debian.org/975157 - the lone bug, a FTBFS and
thus serious.

I'd also like to acknowledge the help of Anton Gladky in getting the
previous 2020.06 release out.

Thanks for your reviews and sponsorship!
