Hi,
another BunsenLabs developer here.

I can confirm that the source at https://github.com/w00fpack/dilloNG/ ( I used 
the latest commit 2804e6e ) will build successfully on Debian Bullseye using 
the standard Debian tools. Only a few changes were needed to the debian 
packaging you provide at 
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dillo/-/tree/master/debian

*) Edit the patches to match the current files (fix-OpenSSL-1.1-detection.patch 
is now unnecessary).
*) Edit debian/docs to deal with files now in devdocs/
*) Add libmbedtls-dev to the Build-Depends.

FWIW, our repository: https://github.com/BunsenLabs/dilloNG

As to dillo's future, the disappearance of the original project is worrying 
indeed, though now TLS has been upgraded it is still quite useful:

*) On old 32 bit machines it's dramatically faster than the competing 
"lightweight" browsers, and the complete lack of javascript should give it a 
security advantage, especially considering the less-used browsers get infrequent security 
upgrades.

*) It's handy as a fast html file viewer, and even for browsing /usr/share/docs 
where it opens any file with a click.
