Hello!

I would like to ask for the package ausweisapp2 to be unblocked for
testing. While the debdiff is rather large (about 1.8 MB), the package
itself is just a leaf package and used for a very specific purpose only
which is providing the official ID card authentication app of the German
government, so I think the risk conveyed by this update is rather low.

The changes between the testing (1.26.2-1) and unstable (1.26.3-1)
version are mostly fixes and improvements and do not include any
breaking changes:

    - Improvement of help and tutorial texts.
    - Improvements in diagnostics.
    - Fix an error in the NFC dialog on iOS.
    - Improved accessibility when entering PIN, CAN and PUK.
    - Introduction of unique FailureCodes in SDK.
    - Added the environment variable AUSWEISAPP2_AUTOMATIC_DEVELOPERMODE
      in the fully automated SDK.
    - Fixed incorrect progress display in SDK for iOS.
    - Added SECURESCREENKEYBOARD for corporate environments.
    - Bumped TargetSDK to 33 in SDK for Android.
    - Update of OpenSSL to version 3.0.8.

Changes list translated from [1]. I have used the new version 1.26.3 for a while
now myself and didn't run into any regressions. I'm maintaining the package both
in Debian and openSUSE and have not received any reports about regressions in
the upstream release 1.26.3, so I think it should be safe to update the version
in testing to the version in unstable.

My reasoning for asking for this unblock is to ensure we're shipping a version
of ausweisapp2 in Debian Bookworm that is as recent as possible. I only missed
the hard freeze for Debian Bookworm by a few days when I uploaded the new
version in unstable.

I am CC'ing one of the upstream developers who can give some more details on the
changes if requested by the release team.

unblock ausweisapp2/1.26.3-1

Kind Regards,
Adrian
