I actually intend to remove Yi from Debian. Yi is unmaintained (see
https://github.com/yi-editor/yi/issues/1114) and doesn't work with GHC
9.0 (see https://github.com/yi-editor/yi/issues/1125).
We can fix it now (and thanks for the patch) but it will break again the
next time we update one of its dependencies, and we don't have the
firepower to keep fixing it.
It needs an active upstream maintainer.
