Hi James, As discussed on IRC, I have created a separate package for the solarized colorscheme, using dh-vim-addon as the base.
The code can be found at https://salsa.debian.org/marvil07/vim-solarized BTW you probably have already received an invitation to the git repository. It would be great if it could be added under the salsa vim-team. I requested access there using gitlab UI, just in case. Do you think that would be a good idea? Let me know if the package looks good to you. Best, -Marco
