Given that this doesn't seem to be as simple as just including the patch I'm afraid that I won't find much time for it myself either. :-/ If anyone manages to get clipit working on Debian/buster, please let us know so we could upload a fixed package to buster. Andrej, maybe it's worth filing a RFH or maybe even a removal request so we don't end up with clipit in an upcoming Debian release and clarify its state more prominently? regards -mika-
