Thank you for trust Mathieu!

Before pushing the last d/changelog commit, I'd love to address the 3 pipeline
failures I receive. These are test-crossbuild-arm64 (this one is not my fault
it seems, there's something wrong with python packages on arm64), reprotest
and blhc.

The reprotest is failing here:

https://salsa.debian.org/mjt/tdb/-/jobs/2598031 :
Binary files /builds/mjt/tdb/debian/output/reprotest/control/source-root/libtdb-dev_1.4.6-1+salsaci_amd64.deb
  and /builds/mjt/tdb/debian/output/reprotest/experiment-1/source-root/libtdb-dev_1.4.6-1+salsaci_amd64.deb differ

And the actual difference is this:

--rw-r--r-- root/root     34851 2022-03-23 12:31 ./usr/include/tdb.h
+-rw-r--r-- root/root     34851 1970-09-19 07:20 ./usr/include/tdb.h

which is the date of tdb.h file. It makes data.tar.xz files different
within .deb archives.

I'll ignore this for now, but it is an.. interesting difference. I don't see
anything obviously wrong in the packaging which can trigger this, so far.

It is basically my usual workflow actually. Except that I prefer to do some
things (eg naming patches) more consistent :)  I used other tools for the
same stuff, but this is not important.

 > You can also merge ldb in samba first, but this is more complex. Up to you!

Yeah, I thought about this too. It probably is actually LESS complex, - at the
very least, since 4.13's ldb is almost ready, while for 4.16 it needs the same
work to be redone again (based on the existing MR which helps alot).

I'll play around. The main issue for me is to understand the package and the
way it is built, and the complications. Which is what I'm doing :))

Thank you!
