Thank you Steve, the key package budgie-desktop I have submitted to Debian. Its been through a couple of reviews but unfortunately I haven't found a debian mentor to help take the package through into Sid :(
Will try as recommended with most of the other packages in the budgie-remix PPA to send via Debian - finding mentors willing to give up their free time to guide us seems to be difficult. I will tell the team your recommendations.
