At least because the Debian package for the Intel decimal floating- point library entered the archive on 2020-07-22, so after I had submitted my code! Of course we should use the packaged library if possible, and I had myself though about packaging that library independently. However, I had given up the idea because Free42 patches the library: see gtk/intel-lib-linux.patch. I did not really look into this patch to see how important it is and whether it makes it impossible to use the pristine library, but I guess this is a significant blocker for the split in two packages. I’m going to wait for Christian’s feedback on this issue in particular, and on my work in general, before moving further. As long as we are in time for inclusion in bullseye, no rush on my side.
