Hi, I see that libgsl23 was uploaded but who is taking care of the library transition? It seems that this process was not followed:
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ReleaseTeam/Transitions

The transition tracker detected the library change:
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-gsl.html

However there is no corresponding Transition Tracking bug report:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=release.debian.org

Currently this prevents me from doing test builds of sagemath, because some of its build dependencies are not installable:
