some other points i didnt mention...

koha on buster has a security bug. the solution requires some packages to be 
updated

i can push the packages to the koha repo to fix this problem, but... (there's 
always a but) the new packages will break jessie :/
when jessie-lts support officially finishes on 30th june 2020, i can happily 
push these packages - but between now and 30th june we need to decide on a fix 
for the security bug on buster
 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

some other options...
 3/ do nothing and tell people to not use buster, until june
 4/ provide buster packages in an separate repo, until june
 5/ provide instructions to add buster packages using cpanm, until june
 6/ update koha repo to fix buster, and provide jessie packages in an separate 
repo
 7/ update koha repo to fix buster, and provide instructions to add jessie 
packages using cpanm
 8/ submit required buster packages to debian buster-backports repo (not sure 
how difficult this is)

i prefer option 4/, as its the least disruptive for users, and only requires an 
extra sources.list line to implement

also... i think we should hold off on redesigning the koha apt repository until 
*after* this buster security issue is fixed

cheers, Mason
