This change is only in git and was not stable-released yet so far. Also note
that pysolfc in debian is out of date:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=919923
Conclusion: we need debian ppl to package:
* package random2 (seems done here -
https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/pyrandom2 ) - see
https://github.com/shlomif/PySolFC/issues/88
* package https://pypi.org/project/pysol-cards/
* package a new release of https://pysolfc.sourceforge.io/ .
* package the new https://packages.debian.org/en/sid/freecell-solver-bin (I
assume Gergely can do that).

Hi Gergely,
can I CC https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-games/ to see if they can help?

Note that I recently made pysol-cards a dependency of pysolfc git master (see
https://github.com/shlomif/PySolFC/commit/74441a1746dc81bd7f0b8eaab698a48c66605886
) , and there is https://packages.debian.org/sid/pysolfc in debian too.

I like this option the most.

This will be acceptable too, or just short circuit the cmake checks and install
them without it.

Where will it go? Should I install it in the vendor `which python3`'s paths?
