This is actually part of my plan, because the loss of Debian-provided packages for the Mono runtime and libraries would be a big blow to our unvendoring effort. While the Debian packages are mostly unmaintained, they are still in a better state that the vendored binaries we replace by the Debian builds. But this is really daunting for a maintainer like me with little experience outside of packages I happen to be the upstream of. I would be willing to take over the maintenance of src:mono if I could be accompanied/mentored at least for the initial salvaging effort, but I don’t feel like diving into that alone. > If by "a handful of Mono libraries" you mean > libraries not built from src:mono please keep those in a good shape > in Debian too (I would be surprised if all of them are still in > debian though, as there are maybe 5 of such libraries in Debian). I think all the ones we rely on with ./play.it are built from src:mono.
