I checked: we can't use Provides: in flint's d/control because it does
provide the include files of those projects, but not in the same
directory. If there were pkgconfig files, perhaps that would have
flown, but that's not the case.
So we need all rdeps of flint to switch to version 3. We can ask for
the removal of flint-arb, antic and calcium as soon as the other
packages in unstable don't depend on them. For calcium, that means now.
For antic, that has to wait until calcium is out, now that I uploaded
an e-antic which doesn't depend on it.
For flint-arb, gyoto and sagemath depend on it so need versions not
depending on it.

For now I only had a look at what could go, not how to fix those that
will stay and break on newer flint - tomorrow is another day.
Again sorry I broke so many things :-/
