Could the Foundations Team please take over maintenance of ilmbase?

ilmbase was added to main with LP: #240943. It is only in main because
of imagemagick (via openexr) and the Foundations Team maintains
imagemagick.

There is nothing the Ubuntu Desktop Team needs from ilmbase and the
Ubuntu Desktop Team is not interested in manually maintaining C++
symbols across architectures every time Debian wants to update this
package.

Also, if having a symbols file is indeed Required for inclusion in main
even for C++ packages, it ought to be added to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionRequirements

I understand that force syncing ilmbase today so quickly looks bad, but
it was able to clean up the 20+ openexr reverse dependencies that failed
to build because the new openexr version required ilmbase to be updated.
