That is all that I had, or perhaps I had a bit more but it was not
ready to submit.
Sometimes, getting the deb binary package built (even if it does not
actually work) enables other packages to be able to be satisfy build
depends and be built, even with deficiencies (e.g. missing
documentation or modules) -- so yes, even if the language is not
actually ported, it is not a completely useless exercise either.
However, one year later, the port is in the freezer now and perhaps
never to be continued, so you can ignore the bug or close it.
Cheers.
