Great. Please visit
<URL: https://alioth.debian.org/projects/debian-edu/ > and ask to join
the project. This will give you write access to the git repos once your
request have been processed.

Having debian packaging included in the upstream packages tend to cause
extra maintanence work when the two divert, so I am not sure it is a
good idea to keep the debian/ directory in the upstream git. We will
see how that work out. :)

Right. I found the patch and added it to the Debian packaging. I did
not include the patch to make a separate plugin package, as it would
trigger ftpmaster NEW processing and delay the upload. This might be a
good idea for the next upload. Note, v 1.1.3-1 was uploaded today.
I suspect it is a good idea to name the package lmms-plugin-* to make it
more obvious that it is a plugin. Also, please check out the Debian
bugs on <URL: https://bugs.debian.org/src:lmms >, espesially the LADSPA
plugin one. I suspect it migth be a good idea to change the lmms build
to store its LADSPA plugins in /usr/lib/ladspa/, to get access to all
the different LADSPA plugins in Debian. It might also make sense to
split out the LADSPA plugins in lmms into separate packages to allow
them to be used also without lmms installed.

Yeah, I believe he had is laptop stolen and never quite recovered his
Debian involvement after that. But the package is team maintained now.
Welcome to the team!
