merging universe packages with new upstream versions before the 24.04 LTS feature freeze

[Matthias Klose]

The feature freeze for the 24.04 LTS release is approaching (Feb 29), 
however we have some packages which didn't see merges since the last 
Ubuntu LTS release, including packages with new upstream versions. 
Please have a look at

   https://merges.ubuntu.com/universe.html

and merge packages in time before the noble feature freeze.  When 
marking packages with "not needed", please include the version checked with.

Packages with just new Debian revisions should still be considered 
merging. As long as these don't introduce new features, these can still 
be done after feature freeze.

Thanks, Matthias
