Hi, I would like to do a transition for the CFITSIO library. Upstream finally decided to support shared libraries and to ensure the soname will change if the ABI changes. This will makes the maintenance in Debian more easy and will avoid Debian specific changes to keep the ABI stable. I have uploaded a package with the new library to experimental 1.5 months ago, and my plan was to fill the transition bug once the package reaches experimental. Unfortunately the package still sits into NEW despite a ping a few days ago. I am therefore filling this bug before the deadline in the hope we can still do this transition for Jessie. The API hasn't changed beside new functions, so this transition should be quite easy to handle via binNMUs only.
