What about renaming it to "fpga-icestorm"?


Will we have to "NEW"-wait 2-8 weeks again, or will it be prioritized because
of just a renaming?

Maybe we can upload 'arachne-pnr' just afterwards then? It's just important
that 'fpga-icestorm' gets accepted into sid first, since arachne-pnr
build-depends on it.

Can we keep /usr/share/icestorm to be "upstream compatible"?

Regards,
Ruben
