Yes, that is quite common. You can create debian/unstable and debian/ experimental branches in your Salsa repository and release from both.
I began the implementation in that regard and modernised the package according to current standards. Everything seems very promising.
However, I came across a different issue with python-imgviz. In newer versions, imgviz depends on the package cmap.
Cmap was released in 2023 to provide a minimal library which gives access to the colour maps of large ecosystems such as matplotlib.
At the moment cmap only depends on numpy but has heavy dependency groups [1].
Cmap itself is released under the BSD-3 license but includes 10 different licenses. [2]
The documentation clearly states that cmap can provide "[...] all of the colormaps in matplotlib, [...] (and more), with no dependencies beyond numpy".[3]
My next step is to validate the licenses of cmap and the code to verify if potential licensing issues arise.
If no issues arise I will file an ITP, package cmap first, where possible exclude all of the dependency groups, and then continue my work with python-imgviz.
If there are issues, I will approach the maintainers of imgviz to resolve those concerns.
