[Debian-med-packaging] Sight removed from testing, fix proposal

Strictly speaking, removal of sight from testing makes it not a
blocker for the boost-1.92 transition, as failures in sight
tests are not considered as regressions introduced by boost-1.92
anymore.  That written, having sight back to testing should
certainly not hurt and I'm about to proceed to an upload.  I've
a question thought.

dch uploader and d/control Uploaders email address mismatch,
which trips lintian as flagging the upload as an NMU.  For now,
I aligned the email address in d/changelog, like previous
upload.  Do you wish to update the Uploaders field to your new
address eventually to match the new one?

Have a nice weekend,  :)
