I took a look at this and tried to figure out whether i could package
it.  sadly, it looks like there's some pretty ugly ABI breakage, which i
reported upstream:

   https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool/issues/387

I pushed a debian/experimental branch to
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/xdotool that tries to repair the ABI
breakage to some degree (it's imperfect, but also trying to not be super
invasive), but it doesn't pass the expected tests, and i haven't looked
into it further.

If someone else wants to try to figure out what's breaking, i'd welcome
any assistance.
