Hi!

I've finally gotten around to finalizing the beancount packaging. I've run
across a few test failures on the released 2.0.0, but I noticed that they have
been fixed by tbm and Martin Blais in upstream PRs; I've followed the easy
route and updated the packaging to a snapshot of the upstream mercurial repo:
some of the test failures were fixed after a refactoring of the external price
source handling, so the patch doesn't apply cleanly to 2.0.0... Yay.

The packaging is on https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/applications/beancount
and uses a standard gbp buildpackage (with pristine-tar) workflow.

The only thing that's not working currently is the dependency split between
default dependencies and optional dependencies for extra features. It's not
exactly critical but it'd be nice to have. I'd also be happy with better
wording for the long description of the packages.

Once that's done and if you're happy I think the package should be ready for
upload.

Cheers,

BOFH excuse #223:
The lines are all busy (busied out, that is -- why let them in to begin with?).
