+1 maintenance report

Last week I did my +1 maintenance shift. I got sick on Wednesday and
had to take Thursday and Friday off, which impacted the amount of work I
was able to do.

* pytorch
- Athos had already done an initial investigation and left his
findings on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pytorch/+bug/2067720
- I took over from where he stopped and identified more patches that
needed to be backported (including one that needed to be reverted).
- The package builds on all supported architectures now (amd64, arm64
and ppc64el).
- During my investigation I noticed that a possible solution would be
to bump sleef to the version currently in Debian experimental (3.6).
However, while attempting to build that new version in Oracular some
tests fail during build time on a few architectures. I did not
investigate the issue further, although I confirmed that the build
passed on Debian experimental.

* python-nmea2
- Fixed the FTBFS by backporting an upstream patch.
- Forwarded the fix to Debian.

* python-easydev
- Fixed FTBFS in Debian; it will reach Ubuntu soon.

* python-phpserialize
- Fixed the issue in Debian; it will reach Ubuntu soon.

* xgridfit
- Fixed FTBFS in Debian; will reach Ubuntu soon.

* gitaly
- For some reason it was mistakenly copied into the archive again for
Oracular, so I filed
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gitaly/+bug/2069200
requesting its removal again.
