I'm requesting an SRU:

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

[ 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.
