Speaking to a DD here: they (but here evidently the "other" "they"s) are not
tending
to their Debian user's needs...)... >;-#

Any chance you know in which released version this particular feature landed?

I remember when I was a KDE developper a long, long time ago and I did just
that only for the compile to take two days on my laptop, then failing with a
compile error, me filing a ticket or asking on the mailing list, being told
"ah,
that was fixed, please pull", rince, repeat and finaly after half a dozen
compiles
and a few weeks later giving up because I couldn't even keep up with recompiles
never mind actually getting any dev work done. I'm guessing a lot of stuff has
changed since then but the narrative "hahaha, Debian is not even able to
hahaha,
just recompile from master" doesn't seem to have advanced much.
