Hi Michael, thanks for the bug report. Without being the debsecan maintainer, I'd like to know whether this is really such a straightforward thing without having to mess around with on-disk structure of local files. Would that patch, assuming that it still applies, be suitable for a package in Debian?
Florian, are there reasons for not applying this nearly four year old patch other than lack of time? Would you want me to go ahead with this? Do you want me to do an NMU, add myself to Uploaders or would you prefer a PR on gitlab? Or, Michael, would you be willing to do this if Florian agrees? You have much more python skills than I have.
