Usertags: transition

GNU GSL 2.7 was release a few months ago, and we now realised (in the
discussion of #993324 which also included upstream) that the upstream libtool
instruction were in error by _not_ leading to a new sonumber. This was
corrected in (source package) gsl upload 2.7-3 to experimental, which built
well.

I would like to ask for a formal transition. As we saw with failing tests in
dependent packages, binNMUs will not work for all package (but possibly
"most"). 

Tentative ben file below.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
title = "gsl 2.7 transition";
is_affected = .depends ~ /libgsl-dev/;
is_good = .depends ~ "libgsl26";
is_bad = .depends ~ "libgsl25";
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let me know if I can help otherwise.

Cheers, Dirk
