Dear Maintainer,

Some months ago I experimented with bringing newer libqalculate /
qalculate-gtk to Debian, using the packaging here as a base. Hopefully
these can be useful in bringing updates into Debian proper:

libqalculate:
https://github.com/utopia-repository/libqalculate/tree/for-upstream
qalculate-gtk:
https://github.com/utopia-repository/qalculate-gtk/tree/for-upstream

qalculate-gtk required minimal changes to update, besides bumping the
libqalculate-dev requirement to 2.6.x.

libqalculate had another ABI bump (from SONAME 14 in experimental/2.2.x
to SONAME 19). I added Breaks+Replaces for libqalculate6*,
libqalculate14* packages, which should resolve #894112. Since
libqalculate has a few build-deps, I'm assuming that pushing this to
unstable would involve a package transition - I have not tested any
reverse deps yet.

Also it appears that upstream switched to doxygen for building
libqalculate docs (at least for sources based off Git), so I
incorporated that into the build process as well.

Best,
James
