Dear Release Team,

I would like to request a transition slot for flint.  The recent upstream
release 3.1.0 introduced the new soversion flint 19.  A new binary package,
libflint19, was introduced in the source package flint 3.1.2-1~exp1, which
cleared the NEW queue on March 28 and is now in experimental.

flint 3.1.1-1 already exists in unstable, which ships libflint.so.19 in
the libflint18t64 binary package.  However, flint 3.0.1-3.1 had been
previously uploaded for the t64 transition, shipping libflint.so.18 in
the same binary package.  This is RC bug #1067226 and has resulted in
several other RC bugs in reverse dependencies.

An auto-flint tracker already exists for the t64 transition, but it doesn't
take the new libflint19 package into account.  (Although perhaps this will
update automatically at some point?)

binNMU's should be sufficient for each of flint's reverse dependencies:

* e-antic
* gyoto
* macaulay2
* msolve
* normaliz
* polymake
* singular

Ben file:

title = "flint";
is_affected = (.build-depends ~ /\blibflint-dev\b/) | (.depends ~ 
/\blibflint(?:18|18t64|19)\b/);
is_good = .depends ~ /\blibflint19\b/;
is_bad = .depends ~ /\blibflint18(?:t64)?\b/;

Thank you!
