James, thanks for making the changes for the conversion to dh-vim-addon on the package git repository!
I see them in place now and even released as 20201113, which means I could re-try this with the new approach. While looking at the code changes, I noticed that color_sampler_pack was updated less than two weeks ago on the debian repository[1] to the version from 2012.10.28. It now includes a solarized color scheme, but sadly, it is including a old version; which based on the upstream repository, corresponds to upstream commit 6666646c69542e4759a7dd7e2b22b86287027614[2] from March 2011. It is also important to mention that color_sampler_pack is only adding the color scheme, without any documentation. Based on that, I think it is a good idea to add it independently. As stated at debian/vim-scripts.status, I am adding version from latest available commit on upstream, 528a59f26d12278698bb946f8fb82a63711eec21[3]. I have also updated html documentation on a separate commits, for easier review. The new code is now available at https://salsa.debian.org/vim-team/vim-scripts/-/merge_requests/2 1: https://salsa.debian.org/vim-team/vim-scripts/-/commit/2919ffd8093b8d30ba10629c9b63ea188cc2841a 2: https://github.com/altercation/vim-colors-solarized/blob/6666646c69542e4759a7dd7e2b22b86287027614/colors/solarized.vim 3: https://github.com/altercation/vim-colors-solarized/blob/528a59f26d12278698bb946f8fb82a63711eec21/colors/solarized.vim Best, -Marco
