Hi Abou,

Our messages crossed.

It doesn't decide to do that automatically, but for some forms there are
processes in place to warn the release team. And if necessary, they'll
trigger the required rebuilds. But only if they notice. I just realized
that our fpc-abi-* doesn't trigger any of the existing processes except
the 60-days-out-of-sync process (manually by me). So fpc will be stalled
to migrate until the release team is made aware (by the Free Pascal
Team). Technically this is a transition, so we *should* request a
transition slot: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ReleaseTeam/Transitions
but because of the low number of packages and the fact that they are all
team maintained, that's a bit overkill. But we should be more aware of
it ourselves.

I don't see that last fact, but maybe I'm overlooking.
fp-units-castle-game-engine doesn't depend on any src:fpc binary AFAICT.
A, wait, looking at the source, I think we *INTENDED* to have that
dependency, but apparently it doesn't get added:
https://salsa.debian.org/pascal-team/castle-game-engine/-/blob/master/debian/control#L44
We probably forgot to fill that variable.
