Package: mailman-suite
Version: 0+20180916-7

Hi,
while analyzing the dependencies of the mailman3 stack I found this
change [1] changing it from sassc to ruby-sass.

As you already know I'm discussing with upstream on the option to
eliminate the compressors all together, but if we fail at least for
sass we seem to have a maintenance issue.
According to upstream [2] ruby-sass is deprecated and unmaintained in 11 days.

The changelog does not hold why the switch was made - so I'm a bit lost.
But could we switch back to sassc for longer upstream support?
If so a change should be as easy as [3]

While for the serviceability of e.g. security issues it would be nice
to have it in buster I know it is too late :-/
But what do you think of that change (post Buster)?ยด
