  Description     : Cross-platform Zilog Z80 assembler (R800/Z80N/i8080/LR35902)

 sjasmplus is a command-line cross-compiler of assembly language for the Zilog
 Z80 CPU. It supports many machines specific directives, has a built-in Lua
 scripting engine, a 3-pass assembling, macro language, structures, virtual
 device mode.
 .
 Z80/R800/Z80N/i8080/LR35902 CPUs documented and undocumented opcodes support,
 fake instructions, relocation data generator.
 .
 Machine specific directives for ZX Spectrum machines (Including ZX Next),
 Amstrad CPC, IntelHEX support (homemade SBC computers) and emulator specific
 directives to define breakpoints from code (MAME, FUSE, ZEsarUX).
 .
 Supports source-level-debug information for DeZog debugger (VSC extension).
 .
 This package provides the assembler binary, examples and documentation.

 - I do need a sponsor, while I'm using Linux distributions derived from Debian
   for almost two decades, I rarely used Debian itself and I'm not direct
   contributor (yet)

 - I'm co-maintaining the upstream project and I'm planning to create debian
   packaging git repository on salsa.debian.org and maintain the package as well.

 - package is useful as convenience for retro-computer hobby programmers
 - it's as relevant as anything 8bit computing related (ie. for fun, not truly relevant)
 - it is being used as part of some SDK/tools as component (ZXDAAD, Mega PCM 2, ...)
   (but I don't think there is any official .deb package including sjasmplus)
 - pasmo assembler package exists and some people keep bashing my head that it
   is much simpler to recommend it because `apt install pasmo`. But also it's
   orphaned and I believe sjasmplus is overall better quality SW.
