[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#1104936: arduino: Autoformatter is broken - requires new/fixed astyle

[Philipp Matthias Hahn]

Package: arduino
Version: 2:1.8.19+dfsg1-3
Followup-For: Bug #1104936

Dear fellow Debian Maintainer,

I have successfully build the new version of astyle-3.6.12 locally and
confirm, that this fixes the auto formatting feature in Arduino IDE.

It requires one minor change to formatter.conf as AStyle finally removed
a feature deprecated in version 2.05 from 2014-11:
<https://astyle.sourceforge.net/news.html>
> A new preprocessor indent option "indent-preproc-block" will indent
> preprocessor block statements one additional indent. The block must be
> top-level, or included within a namespace, and there are restrictions
> on what can be indented. The option is described in the "Indentation
> Options" section of the documentation.
