Great, thanks a lot for this. What would be the easiest way to update
our csdp fork - get this repo and apply debian patches
to produce the source we can use upatched?
Or this is more (or less?) complicated - perhaps there is already a
repo somewhere I can pull from?

By the way, we are in the middle of Virtual Sage days 109:
https://wiki.sagemath.org/days109
not sure whether there Debian people there, but they might (we have
over 300 participants...)

Thanks,
Dima
