Hi,

I'm happy to step out of the way, it's been a long term plan anyway.

2.13.0 did not build when I tried in May, and looks like 2.13.1 is still 
the same

/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-ld.bfd: 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkeyutils.so.1: error adding symbols: DSO 
missing from command line

and I haven't had time to debug why. Pushed packaging to git, anyone is 
free to fix this and send a MR.
