Sure, but I'm not clear what the conditions should be. What's the status of the contact with the Debian maintainer mentioned in the Debian readme? If nothings' happening, does someone want to take a look at this for 21.3? It's unfortunate if people running self-built binaries on Debian risk losing mail.
