o.k. then I can prepare the fixups for the existing release 4.0.5 of KiCad and create a new Debian version also for that. I already started to work on this, unfortunately some minor issue is coming out on that. The current source tarballs are named 4.0.5+dfsg1*. But there is one footprint library inside missing due a issue in the helper script that is downloading all the needed sources. The issue is a not correct call and usage of the GitHub API so not all footprint libraries are downloaded. In short, the tagged 4.0.5 footprint files of Connectors_Terminal_Blocks.pretty [1] are still missing in the current source files and I'd need to prepare a new source 4.0.5+dfsg2*. Otherwise the fix of the current situation is only a partial fix. I really recommend to add this missing library. So the current fix for the existing version 4.0.5+dfsg1-4 I'd like to do would be: 1. Adding the missing footprint library (resulting in 4.0.5+dfsg2). 2. Adding the symlinking of the renamed footprint folders. 3. Adding a README.Debian for explaining the symlinking.
