Hi,

Thank you for checking and creating this issue. Overall, you're completely
correct. There is however some nuance I'd like to provide to the statement
you quoted:

"""

Versions 1.6 and older
should no longer be used due to known security issues that cannot be resolved
in that code base.
"""

While this statement is true for the 1.6 version released upstream
(I'm upstream
as well as the last person to update the package), the CVE fixes that
this statement
refers to *have* been backported to Debian. The "cannot" part refers
to security issues
in the 1.2 code base. For 1.3+ it should have said "will not".


Now we *are* on the topic of updating the package, I have some
questions with respect to
the JavaScript the 1.10 and higher releases depend on, since the build
process for the
JavaScript assets has changed from direct inclusion of DojoToolkit
dependency to a much
broader set of dependencies built with WebPack. I'm looking for
someone with experience
packaging similar applications on Debian. Can you help me get in
contact with a person who
might be able to help me?

Regards,

Erik.
