Bug#803057: Npgsql package
NuGet introduces a number of packaging issues that we are not ready to
deal with yet from a dependency resolution perspective in Debian (we
have some measures half implemented to handle it).
Uploading from the 2.x branch is a short-term measure to satisfy
dependencies on packages which currently build with -r:Npgsql but fail
with Mono 4.0 since that bundle is gone
