Bug#847613: Use code from PPA for initial package

2018-12-27 Thread Daniel Scharon
I'd really love to have this package in buster. 
But this means that it must be in testing before 2019-02-12. So not
much time left. The package doesn't have to be in perfect shape by then
but afterwards the soft freeze will be active!

Kind regards,
Dan

upstream Nextcloud explicitly listed the ability to skip releases as one
of their goals [0], which should ease a lot of the problems of packaging
for stable.
They also stated that they hope Debian and other distributions would
provide packaging (as they won't) [1].

Kind regards,
Dan
