Bug#824520: RFP: subsurface -- scuba diving logbook



My advice is to forget this. Upstream is really uncooperative and
Torvalds went to conferences to talk about this (conveniently
forgetting to mention he was depending an unstable library whose
author said "Don't use this yet")

The video of that conference that happened ages ago is still shared
today to "prove" how the distribution model is bad, distro maintainers
are mean, and so on.

Just my advice.
