Hi Drew,

Thanks!

I'll do the three ITP pending packages and start filing the ITPs
within the next two days, all being well.

And I have very good news!  I discovered that upgrading
python3-qtawesome allows Spyder to run!  There are almost certainly
bugs, as jedi and parso have both had breaking changes, but at least
it runs ;-)

Best wishes,

   Julian
