Work required to have tensorflowlite in the Debian archive.

Let's try to make a plan to get tensorflow-lite in Debian.

Since the freeze for Trixie is pretty advanced, I don't think it is realistically possible to get tensorflow-lite in Trixie because it will require to go through the NEW queue several times. But, we can still manage to push it in trixie-backports if we are able to build a package using libs currently in testing as long as it doesn't require a backport too many packages.

The latest version of tflite requires abseil 20250127.1 which need a transition because of the soname change, thus it could be easier to package an older version of tflite for which version of dependencies are already available in Trixie. tensorflow-lite 2.14.1 seems to be the latest version that we can easily build in Trixie.
