[Bug 1225803] [NEW] Sync lapack 3.4.2+dfsg-2 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

[Julian Taylor]

Public bug reported:

Please sync lapack 3.4.2+dfsg-2 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

Among other issues this updated package disables -Bsymbolic-functions which
prevents overriding the default xerbla_ error handler which aborts the process.
This is a regression introduced in raring where the hardening flags are first used.
It also adds simple autopkgtests for this.

The package builds in a clean saucy amd64 chroot and is tested by a couple
autopkgtests in rdeps.

Changelog entries since current saucy version 3.4.2+dfsg-1:

lapack (3.4.2+dfsg-2) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Sébastien Villemot ]
  * Bump to debhelper compat level 9
  * Simplification and improvement of debian/rules:
    + use dh
    + remove hack to workaround timeouts in testsuite
    + ship testsuite summary generated by LAPACK build system instead of
      generating our own
    + do not run testsuite if DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS contains "nocheck"
      (Closes: #718948)
    + ensure that flags from dpkg-buildflags are injected everywhere
  * Install static library in liblapacke-dev
  * Remove remnants of old system for notifying testsuite errors at
    installation of the library
  * Switch VCS to Git
  * liblapack-dev now alternatively depends on libblas.so (Closes: #695825)
  * liblapack-dev now provides liblapack.so (instead of liblapack-3.so), for
    consistency with libblas-dev
  * Do not ship a copy of jquery.js; instead link to the version from the Debian
    package
  * Fix debian/watch

  [ Julian Taylor ]
  * strip -Bsymbolic-functions from LDFLAGS. -Bsymbolic-functions breaks
    xerbla_ error handling overrides as internal calls to it will not go
    over the plt anymore. With bfd linker --dynamic-list could be used
    instead but it doesn't seem work with gold linker. (Closes: #722252)
