Now that the new stable release of Debian has been out for a couple of
weeks: any status on this?

That potential new moosic release (without examples/completion, and with
the new play-one command) is still pending testing of the result; I have
no reason to expect it to not work, and certainly haven't managed to
find anything that does break with it gone, but I don't know what would
constitute a valid test of whether there is anything that fails to work
without it but did work with it.

[Re the bug that manifests when one of the playback commands in the
moosic config file would give "No such file or directory":]

In the somewhat-extensive meantime, I have done the latter of these. I
still don't know what causes the buggy behavior, but I've confirmed that
it already seems to exist in the previously packaged version, and I
don't believe it's going to manifest in real-world usage.

As such, I don't consider this a blocker for moving forward.

(For reference, the buggy behavior is that even when moosicd is already
running, moosic will in some cases fail to detect it - more
specifically, the moosic internal client-server command 'no_op' will
fail - and will therefore try to start a new instance of the daemon.)
