@dandavison Please approve workflow. |

Is there something stopping this PR being merged? |

Hi @baryluk, hm, yes, I don't personally know anything about Debian package formulas, and I had been hoping to get someone who did know about them to indicate approval -- I thought that would be good practice seeing as plenty of people are using this formula. So I had asked people in #504, but I guess no-one was up for it! Do you know someone else who can give an independent sign-off? |

Hi - Debian developer here - I can confirm that this proposed change is entirely sensible. |
|
Thanks @jonassmedegaard! And thanks @baryluk! |
