Control: retitle -1 transition: libical2

Hello release-team!

A new upstream release of libical is out -> 2.0.0. This version comes
with a new so name. I'm repurposing this old bug report, initially
filed for the unfortunate and unexpected ABI breakage in 1.0.1,
for the new version. A transition to newer libical is needed for
updating evolution-data-server, et.al.

Since I've heard no feedback since my last NMU, I've gone ahead and
uploaded a package of the new version towards experimental.
It's currently stuck in (binary-)NEW.

I've build-tested reverse dependencies and came up with the following
results:

FAIL -- will need sourceful uploads.
==========================================

ical2html-2.1
webcit-9.01-dfsg
citadel-9.01

SUCCESS -- should be binNMUable.
==========================================

jana-0.0.0+git20091215.9ec1da8a
libsynthesis-3.4.0.47.5+syncevolution-1.5.1
orage-4.12.1
osmo-0.2.14
gnome-shell-3.20.1
gnome-todo-3.18.1
gnome-panel-3.18.2
gnome-calendar-3.20.1
gnokii-0.6.30+dfsg
cairo-dock-plug-ins-3.4.0
bluez-5.36
bijiben-3.20.0
asterisk-13.7.2~dfsg
almanah-0.11.1
agenda.app-0.42.2
syncevolution-1.4.99.4
abiword-3.0.1
evolution-ews-3.18.5
evolution-data-server-3.18.5
kdepimlibs-4.14.10
evolution-3.18.5.1
kmymoney-4.6.6

Build logs available at:
https://people.debian.org/~ah/libical-transition/

(All three seems to fail on the same thing which hopefully
means it's easy to fix:
error: 'icalerror_errors_are_fatal' undeclared (first use in this
function)
  icalerror_errors_are_fatal = 0;
)

Once libical has cleared the NEW queue I'll file the bugs
against the failing packages, set them as blockers for this bug
and remove the moreinfo tag when it looks like we're ready to
start the transition. Consider this a heads up warning.

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
