Hi Bastian,

I'm glad to see interest on this package :)

You are very welcome to sponsor the package.
Let me update my git repo at salsa with last upstream version and Debian Policy
related changes.

I've also worked finding toybox-coreutils compatibility issues by building
some Debian key-packages:

  (sorry for the 'raw' link without a proper html preview)


Please text me to share your thoughts and needs about the package and I'll try
to adapt to it.

Regards,
