I had packaged 1.1.alpha, which has a number of useful additions
(including built-in reformatting), but then went and looked at the
Debian packaging and noticed that you had fixed a number of DFSG
issues. It would probably be easier to merge changes from upstream to a
1.1.alpha experimental release than on top of 1.0.3, so it might make
sense to publish a 'pure' 1.0.3 to unstable and then add a fancy
1.1.alpha to experimental.

Are you keeping a patch-queue branch anywhere to help with evaluating
which fixes to include? I've pushed my branch to

https://salsa.debian.org/keithp/mu-editor/-/tree/patch-queue/debian/master

That's got the three additions I'm using in class:

 1. add snek mode (needed for my snek-based class)
 2. close repl/plotter when serial port disappears (helps when unplugging USB)
 3. scale button bar icons (helps on small screens)

I had to back-port these to 1.0.3, so they haven't had as much review or
testing in this version.

Thanks.
