Thank you for making me aware of this. Unfortunately, cgit-pink is not a full-featured replacement for upstream cgit since it removes support for Lua filters [1]. The commit message states that “Lua support is unused”, which I don't follow as cgit ships with a collection of Lua filters, hence Lua support is likely used in some installations. I will keep this bug open since, while cgit still works for now, this will change at some point as the git repository layout evolves. In the meantime, please feel welcome to package cgit-pink in addition to cgit. If you are aware of specific bugs in cgit that would be worthwhile patching in Debian, I would be grateful if you could let me know. At least the Fedora package is carrying a patch to use a newer git version [2, 3], which might be a consideration for Debian, too.
