OK, your reasoning is all sensible. I admit that I didn't look at the
patches very hard :-) Reviewing them was the main thing, so thanks for
doing that. It's fine for you to find them only relevant to the distro
builds.

OK, but an internal library copy is always a bad idea on Linux, even
if it's expedient on Windows due to the lack of a packaging
system. It'd be nice if the build DTRT on linux, but I can see that
that may involve more work in platform I.D. (I've not looked at the
codebase to see if this would be a pain or not).

Ah, OK. I had assumed that they were real scripts. They look like
python scripts...So they are just intended to be loaded/referenced by
other scripts, I guess?  I expect this is due to Debian QA tools
complaining about scripts with no shebang. 

The patch looks like it adds files to examples, rather than removing
them? (No idea if this is sensible).

Sorry, No. This would be something to ask Anton. It fixed a build
failure, but I don't know if it's actually a good/best fix.

Well, I would tend to say Debian just because arm is a 1st-class
citizen there, so everything works exactly the same for Debian on
armhf/arm64 as on x86. But whatever you are used to might be a more
significant consideration. What hardware do you have? Or were you
looking at using OBS?
