Bug#1101426: Please update buildstream to version 2

[Theodore Tucker]

Hi Jeremy,

I'm interested in doing some of the work of bringing BuildStream 2.x 
into Debian. (For context, I am a user of both Debian and BuildStream at 
work, but am contributing here in a personal capacity.)

I've filed https://bugs.debian.org/1127157 to package buildbox for 
Debian and have started working on that at 
https://salsa.debian.org/tti0/buildbox. As I'm a new contributor to the 
project, Sudip (on cc) has agreed to help me as a sponsor there.

Once we have buildbox into sid, I understand we will need to address 
https://bugs.debian.org/1122578 and package pyroaring before looking to 
update the BuildStream package for 2.x.

I am hopeful that we might be able to manage all this in time for forky, 
but am conscious that I am new around here and am still getting to grips 
with Debian as a developer. I am though happy to help where I can.

Thank you and kind regards,

Theodore
