Thanks for your mail and for the clear description of the situation,=20

Well =E2=80=A6 let me think how to phrase this =E2=80=A6 Alright: It would =

easy to just make those probably trivial backports; on the other=20
hand, if this is a chance to get a new contributor, that sounds also=20

More seriously: If you think you can contribute to Debian that would=20
be very welcome, and you'll get all onboarding help you need.
If that's too much for you currently, feel free to say so and I'll=20
just upload the packages to backports.

a ton of Perl modules and then vanishes again =E2=80=A6

Could we maybe add all koha dependencies and finally koha itself to=20
