    - d/p/0002-Disable-omp.patch
    - d/p/0008-Use-local-mathjax.patch -> d/p/0003-Use-local-mathjax.patches

   * debian: fix __half build errors
   * d/p/0008-fix-ambiguous-__half-constructor.patch: ignore narrowing warnings
     for test files
   * debian: library transition from libhipblas2 to libhipblas3
   * d/libhipblas3.symbols: update to incorporate ABI changes
   * d/rules: BUILD_WITH_SOLVER to align upstream build script
   * d/control: add strict version requirements to b-d for rocm 7.1.0
   * d/control: make sure libamdhip64 requires 7.1.0
   * d/libhipblas3.symbols: remove forgotten debian revision
   * d/control: add python3-yaml to build-depends

   * d/rules: enable LTO via DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS=optimize=+lto.
     The test client link line emits libblas.a before liblapack.a, which
     fails on Debian's bfd ld with undefined references to
     isamax_/idamax_/icamax_/izamax_. Ubuntu's build only succeeded
     because debhelper already enables -flto=auto, whose linker plugin
     resolves symbols across archives regardless of order; align Debian
     with the same behaviour.

   * d/control: fix typo in libhipblas3-bench description
   * d/rules: fix privacy-breach-generic for docs

   * d/p: refresh patches for 7.2.4

   * d/p/0012: update description — upstream fix not in 7.2.4 release tarball
