Hi Paride,

I understand the need for you to file an ITP with this.
But this is a duplicate ITP, I have already filed an ITP for this.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=896488

I request you to please close this ITP.

and I'll finish this package at the earliest.
I understand that you require it for browsh.
I also need this dependency for micro

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=888813

I see that you have already pushed the source code on Salsa, apparently
without the debian directory.
I am already done with packaging this locally on my machine back in
April. Don't know what got in the way
that I have not pushed it to Salsa.

I'll push this package to Salsa and send an RFS. I will not keep you
waiting.
All the best packaging browsh !

Thanks,
Raju Devidas
