Thank you for letting me know about the speed improvements. The main thing blocking updating both pikepdf and ocrmypdf -- which I try to do together since upstream is the same -- is updating d/copyright for all the new test resources which are included. This often requires looking up licenses on commons.wikimedia.org, and adding new files to Files-Excluded:. Perhaps you would be interested in helping out? What you would need to do is something like `git diff --name-status --diff-filter=ADR v1.13.0..v1.17.2` (versions are for pikepdf) and then work on a patch to d/copyright. All the other parts of the packaging, including actually applying Files-Excluded:, I can deal with easily myself. -- Sean Whitton
