Ah, I did not notice these. Thanks for the pointer. Looking forward to 
it.

I understand. I am willing to test kaidan.im Debian package. So in case 
you like anyone to test it, tell me. I can also build it myself from 
source.

However for productive use OMEMO is a must for me. So I will wait until 
OMEMO support being completed before considering kaidan.im for 
productive use.

All the best,
