Inaccurate.

At release times, I usually try to coordinate with Debian packagers.
This time, it took a bit longer, but uploads happened in November and
December. See links below.

Thank you, Yavor and Gurkan.

The issue here is Debian preferring to build things with GCC over Clang.

If we can convince the (very kind in their efforts) maintainers of the
packaging to try to package with Clang and libobjc2, we'd be golden.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/meta-gnustep
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gnustep-base
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gnustep-gui
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gnustep-back

and other pages.

Reach them via the mailing list. I believe Yavor and Gurkan are
subscribed to (some of) GNUstep mailing lists.
