Hi,
Thank you for the initial round of feedback.

I've made some changes to how the autopkg tests are run and the tests
are running and passing when building with sbuild on arm64 (I don't have
an amd64 environment available at the momment). Now that there is a
pre-release tag on GitHub, I've enabled the CI/CD in s.d.o to point at
d/gitlab-ci.yml

I still need to update d/copyright -- there are several different
copyrights in the source (PGDG, ULB, PostGIS, etc) that I need to add to
d/copyright. This is the area of packaging that I am less familiar with,
so any high-level suggestions would be appreciated.

Mobilitydb needs postgis -- without setting shared_preload_libraries,
tests fail with the errors similar to this one
ERROR: could not load library
"/usr/lib/postgresql/15/lib/libMobilityDB-1.1.so":
/usr/lib/postgresql/15/lib/libMobilityDB-1.1.so: undefined symbol:
ST_Intersects
I've spent some time trying to patch the CMake build to link mobilitydb
against postgis with no success. If I update CMakeLists.txt to link with
-L /usr/lib/postgresql/15/lib -lpostgis-3, the build fails with
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpostgis-3.so: No such file or directory
I think this is because postgis-3.so doesn't have a SONAME field set. If
the build links w/ /usr/lib/postgresql/15/lib/postgis-3.so, then
dpkg-shlibdebs fails with
cannot find library /usr/lib/postgresql/15/lib/postgis-3.so needed by
build/libMobilityDB-1.1.so (ELF format: 'elf64-x86-64' abi:
'0201003e00000000'; RPATH: '')

I've updated d/control to use the postgresql-postgis package.
