X-Debbugs-CC: jonas@jones.dk bigon@debian.org I have played around and prepared a new packaging release in the experimental branch based on the codebase on Oct 2019: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/gnulib/tree/experimental The issue is that newer gnulib requires newer gettext (>= 0.20) to work, which is not yet available in Debian. Though it's possible to patch the source code and loosen the version requirement, I haven't really test what will happen.
