To be fair, the PPA is kept fairly up to date, while I have not updated
my repo on salsa for years. So for personal use on debian, building
from that PPA makes sense. Alternatively, there is also
https://dfx.at/subsurface-debian/
which is explicitely targetted at debian.
Same issue there, I don't think the author is concerned with making the
package suitable for Debian.
