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.

of course I can. The upstream changes are a bit to big adding them here and
they are not that useful I think. So I drop them here.
Upstream has added a new documentation for Indonesian, I added that as a new
package but disabled it for now, it's not that big and needs to go through NEW
later. Just added to not forget it later.
My current WIP specific to the debian/ folder looks like this:

It is probably a lot easier for us to judge this given a source debdiff of the actual changes (or two, one for the symlinks and one for the upstream release). Could you perhaps provide such debdiff?

Bug#860404: unblock: kicad/4.0.6+dfsg1-1 (pre-approval)
Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock Dear Release Team, the current version of KiCad in testing is 4.0.5+dfsg1-4. KiCad is a Electronic Design Automation tool were people can create electronic schematics and also can create PCBs later from that. It was shown by report #859409 that the recent version in testing has some none working footprint settings. This makes it hard for not well experienced user to work around that. The reason for this misbehavior is due some restructured footprint libraries done by upstream in preparation for the release of 4.0.5. Upstream has mostly renamed some footprints and partially moved some parts of footprints into other libraries. Upstream has no rule like not renaming any footprints within one release cycle. We can "fix" this mostly by shipping the new footprints and do symlinking the old names to the new footprints. This is what I have done in #859409 and the reporter of #859409 has tested some new created modified packages. After the freeze in January upstream also has done a new fixup release, I prepared and melted this new release also into the packages provided in #859409. The feedback from the reporter and my local testing of this packages are positive and functional. So I'd like to ask if a upload of kicad package 4.0.6+dfsg1-1 to unstable is o.k. and if a unblock request after the 10 days is likely to be accepted? Otherwise we can provide the current version 4.0.6 later by backports, but I would really like to see a not broken version of KiCad in Stretch. There are no other packages that depends on any kicad*. Please note that I'm not the maintainer of KiCad, this is Georges Khaznadar. Georges gave me upload rights for kicad some months ago and I've done most of the packaging work of the last two upstream releases. Unfortunately Georges is busy and small on time in the past due his day job. I haven't seen this issue from the report while preparation of 4.0.5 for unstable as I wasn't aware of all the specific of the footprint handling at this time.
