Looks good, but one question: Upstream says: As of Emacs 26.1, switch-to-buffer-preserve-window-point defaults to t, which solves the problem that pointback.el addresses. Is this pacakge (pointback) obsolete and should it be kept in Debian? (As the package is fine, I'm uploadig it, but if it is obsolete, please file a bug for removal.) Please also investiate: I: elpa-pointback: wrong-section-according-to-package-name lisp => editors -- tobi
