Hi Stanislav,

Its perfectly fine if you close the bug.  I noticed that your changelog
in Git does this.  Great, this is actually the best way to close the
bug.  For the moment this bug serves as a way to document the status of
this package.  If you might like to include your insight you wrote below
in some debian/README.source (in your next upload) this might be of
extra value.

I'm really happy you acknowledge the packaging fixes which seems to show
that its successful to pool your insight into the code with some
packaging help the Salvage team intends to provide.

Its perfectly correct that Trixi should be released with what is now
in testing.

Just to clarify the intention of the package Salvage team:  We do by no
means intend to take away packages from maintainers who are actively
caring for their packages.  My upload in October last year was a pure
mistake and I'd like to apologize again for this.  I'm more than happy
if you care for the package.

Same here and thank you for creating the repository on Salsa
    Andreas.
