As explain by HuberI publish this repository because no one was available when I worked on asymptote.
Now I packaged symptote 2.24, but I did not upload it due to problem. with this versionI can not produce my figures.
So I prefer to stick with 1.15.
I can not remember is this was the same with 2.23.
I amwondering if the problemis not a bad interraction with osmesa ?

Just a few remark do you plan to backport asymptote ?
I yes I think that it would be better to stick with python-imaging instead of python-pil.
with the last upload of python-pil,dist-upgrade proposedtoremove asymptote ???
then I reinstall it with no problem but with -pil packageswhich provide the old python-imaging ones.
your get-orig-source target repack the original tarball and remove some files but keep the original tarballname.
Does it correspond to the 2.23 version uploaded into you git repository ?

I am fine with this proposition.

juste tell me when I can remove the collab repository.
