Hi Sam,

I have checked the v5 source a bit and it seems like the way forward
might be to first package SuperSonic with the required dependencies
as a separate package. Once that is in the Debian archive, updating
Sonic Pi to v5 should be an easier lift. In the meanwhile v4 is still
available as a package. Let me know what you think.
