Bug#960539: RFP: hydrogen -- advanced drum machine/step sequencer repackaging

[Alexandre Lymberopoulos <lymber@ime.usp.br>]

Hi Nicholas,

I can perform this real-life testing, but I don't know how to get the
package to install and test. Sorry for this naive question, but hydrogen
is no longer available via apt(itutde), only the 0.9.7-6 installed here.

Thanks for your help!

Best, Alexandre
