For reference: please see the linked Debian bug
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=977835 for the story
regarding mu͒3 and https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1077944 regarding mu͒4.

tl;dr:

ⓐ mu͒4 would need to be packaged separately anyway, but it’s “open core”
with reduced functionality that relies on proprietary plugins, which
does not fit well with Debian, so I’m not going to package or use it

ⓑ the last “official” 3.x version (3.6.2) is old, unmaintained and buggy
*and* does not even correspond to the version of the mu.com backend ☹

ⓒ there’s a community effort 3.7 which I *am* going to package… but
separately

ⓓ the current package musescore3 will continue to receive backports and
fixes by me, which does include backporting some functionality from
later versions (and the fixes are often fed towards at least the
community 3.7 Evolution; the mu͒4 codebase has been vastly restructured
and reformatted, and frankly it’s now a commercial project with a
letterbox holding company in Cyprus and Russia doing the development, so
the amount of tuits I give for submitting patches to them is rather
small these days, considering the various fuckups they do to the .com
site they also seem to not be very… engaged)
