o.k. then I can prepare the fixups for the existing release 4.0.5 of
KiCad and create a new Debian version also for that.
I already started to work on this, unfortunately some minor issue is
coming out on that.
The current source tarballs are named 4.0.5+dfsg1*. But there is one
footprint library inside missing due a issue in the helper script that
is downloading all the needed sources.
The issue is a not correct call and usage of the GitHub API so not all
footprint libraries are downloaded. In short, the tagged 4.0.5 footprint
files of Connectors_Terminal_Blocks.pretty [1] are still missing in the
current source files and I'd need to prepare a new source 4.0.5+dfsg2*.
Otherwise the fix of the current situation is only a partial fix. I
really recommend to add this missing library.
So the current fix for the existing version 4.0.5+dfsg1-4 I'd like to do
would be:
1. Adding the missing footprint library (resulting in 4.0.5+dfsg2).
2. Adding the symlinking of the renamed footprint folders.
3. Adding a README.Debian for explaining the symlinking.
