SubjectBug#1089509: Please reconsider building libgsl-prof by default
Message-ID<JRil3-eBi3-1@gated-at.bofh.it>
Source: gsl
Version: 2.8+dfsg-5
Severity: minor

Looking at #503290, "it bloats the archive" was the only
argument against building libgsl-prof by default.

I remember how there was a minor issue on the Debian mirrors
several years ago when we had the first file > 2 GB in the
archive (an .orig.tar). libgsl-prof is 4 MB.

It would be both more convenient for users and easier to maintain
if libgsl-prof just gets built by default.

(I was affected by the latter with the 2.6+dfsg-2+deb11u1 LTS upload,
 which originally hit NEW and needed a backport of pkg.gsl.prof to
 avoid NEW.)

I think I fought that to no avail in the past. If you think you can make it
work, and can prepare a PR I would really appreciate it.

Thanks also for propagating that old CVE to stable.
