volume-key could not be analyzed because its headers have undeclared
dependencies (cert.h):

Therefore we conservatively assume a transition is needed, rather than
allowing runtime breakage to impact our users.

If you as maintainer want to close this bug report (indicating that no
transition is required) or un-tag it 'pending' (indicating that a transition
may be required but the patch is not ready to upload), and accept any
fallout if it turns out this is incorrect, that will mark it so that we will
not include it in NMUs to unstable.

*I* will not be making either of those state changes to the bug, because I
currently don't have proof that the library's ABI is not affected by time_t.

Thanks,
