And I see it's indeed the case. Thanks!


Now the only issue in Debian context is that dqlite depends on a patched
sqlite3...


It there any plan to upstream those patches ? Or at least treating that
as a proper fork, with a different name ? The former would be better. of
course, but the later could at least make sure we can package it
separately (with conflicts/provides dance)... And the later is a way to
wait until patches are approved upstream.


As I see LXD packaging in Ubuntu is now replaced by snaps [1], I guess
it's not really necessary for Canonical, but that would really help the
packaging effort in Debian and other distros.
