Hi Mattia et al,
Do you or someone else happen to have some time to help with this still?
Specifically
the migration from cdbs to debhelper..? Then I can fix the rest of the
various packages I prepared and hopefully get it all uploaded soonish.
I got set up on salsa in the mean time. I suppose it's best we change
all Vcs-Browser and Vcs-git links to point to there explicitly instead
of anonscm.debian.org?
Regards,
