Dear Release Team,

I would like to request a transition slot for libcec, which I just
dput.

Upstream 8.1.6 bumps SONAME from libcec.so.7 to libcec.so.8, so shared
library package is renamed libcec7 -> libcec8. No API changes that
affect the reverse dependencies. (The ABI change is just the addition
of three fields at the end of libcec_configuration.)

  unstable now:   libcec 7.1.1-2   (libcec7)
  to be uploaded: libcec 8.1.6+dfsg-1   (libcec8)

Reverse dependencies of libcec7, and what they need:

  kodi                       (kodi-bin)
  vdr-plugin-xineliboutput   (xineliboutput-fbfe, xineliboutput-sxfe,
                              xineliboutput-wlfe)

Both need only a binNMU. The development package is libcec-dev,
unversioned.

This is very small, but it will probably clash with other multimedia transitions. So please upload to experimental first, and let us know once the package has been accepted.

Cheers,
Emilio
