Bug#687694: bouncycastle: 1.44 and 1.46 are not binary compatible

[Niels Thykier]

Package: bouncycastle
Version: 1.46+dfsg-7
Severity: serious

Hi,

As reported by Julius Davies[1], packages built against
bouncycastle/1.46 breaks when run with bouncycastle/1.44.

The known issue is that some constants in bcprov changed type, but
there may be others.  Using dak, I have come up with a list of
packages that might be affected by this[2].

At the very least, bouncycastle or libbcprov-java needs a "Breaks" on
libitext-java (<< 2.1.7-4), but may need others on top of this.
