Hi!
I had no idea DOSBox-x exist.
Anyway, we had currently only `dosbox` package which working very poorly
on mobile devices.
My intent is fix that by replacing DOSBox with better quality codebase.
Feel free to close then.

DOSBox upstream is dead for a long time. Since upstream is dead,
multiple good or worse quality forks emerged over the time.
One of serious ones is DOSBox-staging, which implemented testing, using
recent SDL 2, modern programming language and tries hard to solve issues
previously carried patch by patch from downstream forks.
I (and probably few others listed in [1]) would love to see working
DOSBox.
Current DOSBox due to usage of SDL 1.2 is hardly usable on Wayland based
environments, so my main motivation is use DOSBox on Wayland and
Mobian/PureOS (Debian adapted to mobile phones).
DOSBox-X is in NEW:
https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/dosbox-x_2023.05.01%2Bdfsg-1.html
You have an existing ITP for dosbox-staging, https://bugs.debian.org/973822.
Are you still working on that?
It’s not clear to me why you want to salvage the dosbox package, could you
clarify?
Regards,
Stephen
