Great :) Upstream is reasonably conservative, likely your makefile
problem will still be there but good to check.
They've already released 3.21 by the way, but I don't plan to package
it before 3.20 is pushed to unstable.
Ok, I've just noticed this commit from you in the experimental branch:
acknowledge NMU for 64-bit time_t
so I think I get the idea now, namely, not to build on top of that,
i.e. not to make any 3.19.2-x "proper" release after the NMU.
That's right. The patch is unmaintainable. It does not fit well with
the design of PETSc (and SLEPc), which makes alternative versions
available via PETSC_DIR (SLEPC_DIR), in /usr/lib/petscdir
(/usr/lib/slepcdir).
The transition request is #1067064.
