Dear Hans-Christoph,

Thank you for your interest. It's great to hear that you're starting
to use mu-editor with your kids - it's why I packaged it in the first
place.

Updating mu-editor, and firmware-microbit-micropython, can be
challenging at times and other times straightforward, depending on the
changes upstream have made.

The initial packaging of the whole "stack" took a long time, as
upstream deliver mu-editor, uflash and the micropython binary (one of
the reasons why it's +dfsg) all together in the same project. I think
it required 14 separate source packages to be built to finally get
mu-editor and micropython for the micro:bit into Debian.

Keith Packard (CC'd) is interested in contributing and co-maintaining
mu-editor, and there is a current MR in the repo. The mu-editor
repository has also just had a drive-by upstream bump to version 1.2.0
but nothing else so far...

Thanks,
Nick
