[Debian-lego-team] Wrong version for ldraw-mklist

[Sylvain Corlay]

Hi Johannes,

Sorry for the noise.

I have looked into adopting your git repository as a the "official" source
of the conda package - and it works perfectly, but you are not including
mklist in the repository. Do you have a separate repository / source
tarball location for mklist itself?

Thanks,

Sylvain
