Bug#851806: ITP: libmseed2 -- seed (Standard for the Exchange of Earthquake Data) data records manipulation library

[Ghislain Vaillant <ghisvail@gmail.com>]

You may seek sponsorship by either uploading the source package to 
mentors and filing an RFS bug, or posting your RFS request on the 
d-science mailing-list with a link to the corresponding git repository.

If these attempts are not fruitful (remember we are mostly focusing on 
finalizing Stretch, so new packages are low-priority these days), then 
you can add an entry to the SoB page [1].

Unless Andreas is already on it? I would also be happy to review the 
packaging but cannot upload.
