Dear libfprint maintainers,

I have prepared a new upload for libfprint v0.8.2 as an NMU. You may
find my work here:

  https://salsa.debian.org/hosiet-guest/libfprint.git

Changes since the last upload:

 libfprint (1:0.8.2-0.1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Non-maintainer upload.
   * New 0.8.2 upstream release, with ABI breakage but no API breakage:
     - Add Elan driver
     - Integrate several security fixes (Closes: #890827)
     - Remove already replaced UPEKE2 driver
     - Add USB ID for TNP Nano USB Fingerprint Reader
     - Various fixes
     - Port to meson build system
     - Port to gtk-doc documentation system
   * debian: Apply "wrap-and-sort -abst" to sort file contents
   * debian/control:
     - Bump Standards-Version to 4.1.5
     - Use Priority: optional instead of deprecated Priority: extra
     - Update Vcs fields to use git repository on Salsa Debian group
     - Bump debhelper compat to v11.
     - Add new build dependencies: udev, meson, gtk-doc-tools
   * debian/changelog: Remove trailing spaces.
   * debian/patches:
     - Remove old leftover for backported patches
     - Backport upstream fix for building with new meson
     - Block old patches for kFreeBSD for now, they would cause conflicts
   * debian/rules:
     - Modernize packaging instructions for meson buildsystem
     - Update searching for .rules file in override_dh_installudev
   * debian/gbp.conf: Removed to use default git repository layout
   * debian/libfprint-dev.install: Remove installation of legacy .la/.a files
   * debian/libfprint0.symbols:
     - Add new symbols introduced in new release
     - Manually tweak the version requirement for one symbol due to upstream
       ABI breakage

The new release introduces ABI breakage but no API breakage thus no
transition would be needed.
However, a rebuild (binNMU) might be needed for fprintd and fprintd-demo.

Please consider reviewing my work. I'd be glad to provide with more help.
