The current diff is nearly 20,000 lines, with a lot of effective noise
like changing quoting on command invocation and logging, and s/OS
X/macOS/, which is really difficult to try and find real changes in,
and probably one of the reasons that people unfortunately keep not
finding time to deal with this request (which isn't an excuse, but...).
I understand, there were a lot of minor and cosmetic changes in this release,
but still it will be good to get it uploaded at some point as there is some important
We will eventually release 3.6.5 and we will be in a better position if 3.6.4 is arlready
in stretch.
One thing I did notice from a quick look through the packaging changes
is that introducing new binary packages (i.e. the Python 2 bindings) is
not something that is generally done within a stable Debian release.
We can consider leaving this package out if that is an stopper.
