Yeah, I sighed a bit when I saw it looked like most of the file was
rewritten.  OTOH, it's an x.0.0 version with a new API added so
presumably already full of invasive changes compared to 4.9.x - it's
not like we're backporting a patch to Debian stable here.

Looks like there are some teething problems with the patch but
upstream are being responsive to dealing with them.

Thanks for the package in experimental - I'll try to do some additional
testing with Survex and that package.

Cheers,
