[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1104583: libatomic-queue: Update to 1.6.7: use meson and install pkg-config file

[Stephan Lachnit]

Source: libatomic-queue
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: emollier at debian.org

atomic_queue in version 1.6.6/1.6.7 has now with Meson a proper build system
for installation purposes. This will install the headers and a pkg-config file,
which is super useful to check if atomic_queue is installed. I suggest to
update the packaging to use Meson instead of the Makefile which is rather messy
(see patches requires to make it work).

However, meson does not build a shared/static library. I don't think this is an
issue since atomic_queue is intended as a header only library anyway. There is
no reverse dependency on libatomic-queue0 anyway. So my suggestion would be to
drop the library package right after the trixie release.

Additionally, atomic_queue build depends on the benchmark dependencies. I'm not
entirely sure if this is useful for the build step itself, I think the unit
tests and example are sufficient here. It would make more sense to build and
run the benchmarks as a test in debci.

Since I use atomic_queue for my $DAYJOB, I would be willing to put in the work
for the required packaging changes. Please let me know if you agree with these
changes.

Cheers,
Stephan
