I understand. I mistakenly thought the debian git repo was derived from upstream, I must have misunderstood. I'm mostly interested in getting this issue fixed: https://github.com/DaveDavenport/rofi/issues/928 .. but this will require not only 1.5.2 but whatever the "next" branch is going to be, so I doubt that will make it into buster, especially considering how extensive the changes are between rofi patch releases. So I'm not sure I'll be working on this any time soon... But at least this is documented for the next one that stumbles upon that issue. ;) That being said, should I take your comment as a go-ahead for a low-delay NMU? :) https://wiki.debian.org/LowThresholdNmu Thanks!
