Yes :-). Upstream seems to have completely modified the distribution, and now provides one repo for each of zotero-standalone, zotero-connectors, zotero-libreoffice-integration, which may help to go back to something more sustainable. They also seem to have switched to javascript-only for zotero-standalone, but they use a recent version of nodejs, so we need to wait for #880936... I'd like to move to something manageable, with git-buildpackage. A first step would be to add a new source package for zotero-libreoffice-integration, and to upload this one to experimental. This one may build with the bits taken from the current zotero-standalone-build source package. Do you have objections if I start from the beginning for this package? I'll import the changelog and the other needed bits from zotero-standalone-build but we'll lose the git history.

Hopefully, the new zotero will be easier to deal with... We'll see how it goes ;-).
