Hi Noah,

Thanks for this work.

Though if we're to have a Buster branch, best would probably be to just
call the branch debian/buster, and start the fork from the debian/18.3-6
tag (so we have a meaningful history). I usually have the habit to never
start a debian/stable branch before it's actually needed, though now is
the time, probably.

At the moment, I cannot see your branch in Salsa. I guess you don't have
direct write access to the package (which is probably needed for this
kind of operation). Can someone grant it to you?

Cheers,
