SolveSpace update ready for review and sponsor



Hello Debian Science!

I have prepared an updated package for SolveSpace, which I help
develop/maintain, which recently put out its 3.1~rc1 release with
substantial improvements. I have updated the package's git repo on
salsa: https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/solvespace  and also
pushed to Mentors: https://mentors.debian.net/package/solvespace/

Since we now have upstream tarballs with the submodules included, we
can now easily use debian/watch aka uscan to do the whole "getting new
versions" thing, and we now use files-excluded in d/copyright to
exclude mainly submodule files we don't want in our source package
(Windows binaries, software already packaged in debian, generated
doxygen files, etc.). Most of the patches I made for the last package
release have now been integrated upstream, and only a few small new
ones were needed, which are already submitted upstream. I also added
lintian overrides for the false-positive checks, which does leave a
few info/warning messages active, so I have a few things to improve in
the future. However, it would be good to get this in. I did mostly
test on Bullseye so it actually should be backportable easily too.

Thank you!

Ryan Pavlik
