Some context: uwsgi packaging has a very naive and conservative way to
mark API changes (md5sum uwsgi.h appended to uwsgi-abi virtual package name).
These headers are only used for uwsgi plugins. This particular case[1] only
added a new variable in uwsgi.h.

src:uwsgi is currently blocked[2] from transitionning to testing, So now we have
2 options:

    1) binNMUs can be issued for uwsgi plugins, this request. I filled it
       because this is in my view low risk and will only make uwsgi plugins
       depend on the right uwsgi-abi-<md5sum> package.
    2) We add for trixie a Provides: for that former uwsgi.h version.

I would have preferred 1) to avoid carrying special lines in d/control.

Can you confirm with this context 1) is still too large and disruptive for
trixie? If so, you can close this request, we'll submit a new one when
needed and go with 2).

Many thanks for looking into this,

Alex
