That was indeed on the radar after discussions with upstream at FOSDEM
and we were in the loop. Thanks for keeping the subscribers of this bug
informed! (and sorry I didn't do it myself).

And now, dqlite is actually in Debian:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/dqlite (thanks Laszlo!).

I'm happy to say I can now resume working on LXD deps and lxd itself.

We might have a chance to see LXD in the next release after all! \o/

Cheers,
