Dear Andrej and Guido, I have prepared preliminary packaging for openvr2 library in my salsa repository [1]. It builds, but since I have preserved git history from openvr project, I had to use gbp buildpackage --git-no-pristine-tar to build successfully, since there were reasonable problems with deltas since I changed the project name. That needs some cleanup and the whole repo needs revision and inspection, since we are talking about a new shared library with a bump in soname version. Feel free to clone and suggest things.
In the meantime, I could try to prepare and upload a new gamescope package with openvr support disabled.
