Will we get a release of the ltsmaster branch as well? From

Using latest ltsmaster is always a good idea. I'm a bit
reluctant to tag a new version, as it's a moving target (e.g.,
needed another adaptation yesterday in order to be able to
bootstrap 2.082-based LDC, and will need more adaptations in a
few weeks for LLVM 7...). 0.17.6 has been stuck in the pipeline
for half a year now; perhaps we finally manage after LLVM 7 is
supported.
The thing is, a release is actually tremendously helpful for the
Debian packaging - we are using the latest tagged version there
for ages.
I could, if you think that it is a good idea, just use a snapshot
of the current ltsmaster Git branch, but that makes it harder to
track with which ltsmaster state the Debian package was actually
built with.
