I'd like to remove guile-2.0 before the buster release, so please
migrate to guile-2.2 when you can.
A relevant link here would be the announcement for guile-2.2:
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/news/gnu-guile-220-released.html
I'm neither a power user of xbindkeys nor do I understand what role guile
plays as one of its dependencies, but I do rely on the tool enough to wish
it to remain in Debian.
The release notes seems to suggest the new version mostly has improvements.
Even if it brings in some api breakage, it's mostly due to odd corner cases.
At least that's the way I understood it from skimming the text briefly.
Updating 2.0 to 2.2 generates a build that works for me and my use cases.
Couldn't find any test suite or some other way to easily perform further
verification, but I would assume bumping the version number is all that is
needed to close this issue? A patch doing is attached.
