alas, the only one that seemed able to be removed/relaxed was
indeed cmake, from 3.16 to 3.14. i checked the others, and most
have older versions in oldstable. it is of course possible that
notcurses builds/runs properly with these older versions, but i
have no assurance of that.

Policy Version 4.5.0.3 section 5.6.11:

"either these three components or all four components may be specified."

I have truncated it in the spirit of good comradely fellowship.

Yep. See the comment immediately above it and
 https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/-/issues/182
 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=973313

It's a question of having mentors complain to me, or
salsa+lintian complain to me.

done, thanks.

You link to tracker.debian.org. I cannot now (and do not recall
ever being able to) resolve this name.

Rather than bikeshed which package these <4k files ought go in,
I've just removed them. README.md is still installed in
libnotcurses2. Thanks.

I don't think the doxygen output is useful enough to package,
and certainly don't want to possibly trigger further round-trips
for this content. Thanks though!

Indeed, appreciated.
