   Well, perhaps not "grave" and I have perhaps gotten overly focused
on wanting to test out newer versions but there is also the
'important' bug #862296[1], although I do think I'd found a
work-around for the issue.

   Actually, I'm already listed as a member...  (Robert Clay, 'jame-guest')

Me too, but somebody has to be able to put some time into it. :)

What's the problem? I'm not aware of any grave bug on Stretch, but may
have missed it.

If you're interested, how about becoming a member of the team?

You can change the b-d to libical2-dev to still build with the old libical
version. afaics it doesn't link with packages now linked with libical3.

Anyone interested in citadel/webcit? If not I'm going to have it removed I 
guess.

There used to be a team maintaining these packages, but I'm the only one who
worked on it in recent years. Not having used the software myself I don't
really intend to spend more time on it and both packages have an RC bug, that
upstream may or may not have fixed. 

To explain the latter, upstream claims to have fixed it and their source is
different from ours but the version number is exactly the same!
