Agreed.  Sorry that I didn't comment on it, but disregarding the patch 
was what the second of those runes in my previous post was about. :-)

Which repo is that, and where would I have had a change to learn about 
it (apart from picking your brain)?

The more-current-than-tracked-in-Debian source that I am aware of is the 
Cog branh of http://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm.git/ - is 
that what you are referring to?

I'd be quite happy to track something actually maintained upstream.

If you are generally interested in following activities with the 
squeak-vm package then instead of cc'ing you it would be far more 
convenient that you subsribe to the package at the "Subscribe" button in 
top right corner of https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/squeak-vm

Or if you would be interested in getting your hands dirty with packaging 
work, then create a Salsa account - see 
https://wiki.debian.org/Salsa/Doc#Users - and then request membership of 
the Salsa Sugar team at 
https://salsa.debian.org/groups/pkg-sugar-team/-/group_members - and 
then when you are involved, you can add yourself as "Uploader" (even if 
technically you are not actually permitted to _upload_ packages - the 
meaning of that field is nowadays more like "Contributor") and you will 
then get notified about activities through that indicator.


Kind regards,

 - Jonas
