Dear Maintainer,

The orange3 package needs patches for numpy 2 compatibility.

I spotted this upstream patch which appears to be enough:

https://github.com/biolab/orange3/commit/3517623b26322a1a7c3f8a05653d25e29cadba8d

Once orange3 is fixed for numpy 2, orange-spectroscopy can then be
uploaded.

Additionally, the tests for orange3 are neither run at build time nor in
the autopkgtest tests (despite the included autopkgtest script) - that
is why the incompatibility with numpy 2 was not discovered until now. The
following additional build-deps are needed (at least) to allow the
unittests to run; they don't all pass even with these extra packages:

python3-httpx python3-pyqt6.qtsvg python3-orange-canvas-core
python3-orange-widget-base python3-pyqtgraph python3-opentsne
python3-pyqt5.qtsvg xvfb xauth

regards
Stuart
