[Pkg-netatalk-devel] Patching Bullseye

[Daniel Markstedt]

Hi Jonas,

I'm having a bit of a downtime with my interviewing / self improvement
this week, so today I got around to start reading the contributor docs
(which I found the URL for) and look closer at the code.
My first conclusion was that we can't use the 3.1.12~ds-9 tag to
iterate on for Bullseye unfortunately:
Bullseye doesn't have tracker3 packages, so the package dependencies
introduced in debian/control throws up a barrier for adoption.
As a side note, 3.1.12~ds-9 is the package version Ubuntu 22.04 uses
as a baseline for their package.

So my conclusion is that working off of 3.1.12~ds-8 is the correct
course of action.
Looking at the pattern used for Buster, I would say that the next tag
for the Bullseye package should be: 3.1.12~ds-8+deb11u1
Let me create a work branch to figure out the changeset, and then tag
it once I'm ready.

Cheers,
Daniel
