Bug#1036753: unblock: debian-science/1.14.5



Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-science@packages.debian.org, debian-science@lists.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:debian-science

Please unblock package debian-science

[ Reason ]
This is the usual update of the Blends metapackages short before the
release to reflect removals inside the freeze process.  Well, admittedly
its not the "usual" one.  I intended to get version 1.14.4 featuring
lots of changes into testing before the freeze and failed.  Its simply
my fault and I should have done this earlier - I'm very sorry about
this.  The consequence is a diff to the version in testing (1.14.3)
which is *way* larger than usually acceptable and I can perfectly
understand if you might reject this unblock request due to this large
diff which is not readable any more.  The consequence would be some
inconsistencies inside the metapackages which might have a non-optimal
user experience.

[ Impact ]
Some packages recommended inside the metapackages are removed from
bookworm.  Due to my late upload of 1.14.4 which contained a lot of
updates regarding packages created by Debian Science users would
miss quite some packages that are not mentioned in the dependencies
of the metapackages.

[ Tests ]
Unfortunately there are no tests for the metapackages.  However, they
are automatically created and thus checked against the package pool
and thus it is sensible to expect that the packages are fine.

[ Risks ]
There is no real code inside the metapackages so the packages are
extremely trivial and all are leaf packages so no other package is
depending from them and thus they can not break any other package.

[ Checklist ]
  [*] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [*] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [*] attach debdiff against the package in testing

[ Other info ]
I promise to deliver smaller diffs for the next release cycle.
