Hi again,

I've opened issue #143 there pointing to a fix for the gcc-15 build.
I also adopted PR #135 into the packaging on Salsa.

In addition to droping the debian/ dir I'd recommend accepting PR #135
to make the build reproducible.  I'd also recommend to solve issue #143
by the patches I recommended.

I also contributed systemd service files.  I'm not an expert in these
and would welcome review + testing.

That's actually done.  I've modernised the packaging, closed 7 bugs and
confirm the current package passes Salsa CI[1].  I've worked down quite
a list of lintian issues (some remaining once are left but are harmless)

Done.  Except for using short dh in d/rules.  I would prefer this
but the current d/rules file is a bit complex so for the moment I
did not do this conversion.

I admit I'm motivated to do a Debian team upload right now since quite a
number of bugs are fixed and hardening + reproducible builds are
accomplished.  In any case I would welcome some review of the systemd
service files if you might find some time to do so.
 
Kind regards
       Andreas.
