Bug#923184: [pre-approval] unblock: qgis/3.4.5+dfsg-1

Severity: normal

Because the 2.18 LTR is EOL with the release of QGIS 3.4.5 having the
latter in buster is probably better than leaving the qgis package at the
last 2.18.x release (2.18.28).

QGIS 3.4 is the new LTR and switches to Qt5 and Python 3, as such
the changes since the version in testing are quite large and cannot be
considered "small, targeted fixes".

While users of the qgis package are unlikely to use the version of the
package available in stable, and more likely using the latest LTR from
backports, I think having 3.4.5 in buster is better for users upgrading
from stretch than leaving them with the EOL 2.18.28 release until the
package is updated in buster-backports.

Would you approve of moving QGIS 3.4.5 from experimental to unstable and
allowing it to migrate to tesing for inclusion in buster?

Or should we keep it experimental until after the release, and make the
newer LTRs available in buster-backports when it hits testing?

Kind Regards,

Bas
