Title:
  mrcal was deleted from ubuntu 24.04

Status in mrbuild package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in mrcal package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in mrbuild source package in Noble:
  In Progress
Status in mrcal source package in Noble:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Due to an update to an unrelated package and insufficient
  communication and the rush to get 24.04 out the door, this package was
  dropped from the release.

  Lots of detail about what happened and how to resolve it appears here:

  [ Proposed solution ]

  The original bug report and its solution are described here:
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1067398

  * Update mrbuild to >= 1.9-2 to fix the build issue that caused mrcal
  to be deleted

  * Build and include the omitted source packages:

    * mrcal gl-image-display

  [ Impact ]

   * The deleted packages mrcal, gl-image-display will be available in
  24.04

  [ Test Plan ]

   * The affected packages have no rdepends

   * The "mrbuild" package does have a build-rdepends:

     * mrcal
     * gl-image-display
     * libdogleg
     * mrgingham
     * vnlog

     And none of these have any rdepends or build-rdepends outside of
  this set

   * Testing would mean confirming that the updated mrbuild can still be
  used to build the above packages. This will work, since the update to
  mrbuild is tiny, and is verified functional in Debian

  [ Where problems could occur ]

   * The proposed solution adds two deleted source packages, and updates
  one (mrbuild). Thus the mrbuild update is the only thing that could
  possibly break anything

   * Because of the limited depends and rdepends, the implications are
  limited to the above-listed set of packages. mrbuild is the build
  system. If the above packages build successfully with the updated
  mrbuild, and their tests pass, we can declare victory.

  [ Other Info ]

   * As described in the mailing list thread above, these packages
  weren't excluded because there was anything specifically wrong. The
  problem has been fixed for weeks in Debian when the Ubuntu FTBFS bug
  came through, and the only reason for the exclusion is the rush to
  meet the release deadline.
