Hi Brian,

Before even considering backporting we need to get a stable version of
Arduino into Sid. To get this, we still need to solve the dependency
nightmare Arduino has become. One of them being arduino-builder which
I'm removing from this bug because it is technically not affected by it.

Getting Arduino into Debian is on my to-do list, and it will become my
next priority, please bear with me. Contributions are of course very
welcome.

Regards,
