Why do we need both rather than upgrading dosbox? Is this package
supposed to take over the existing binary package eventually?
Kind regards

some games are buggy in dosbox but run fine in dosbox-staging,
CyberMage: Darklight Awakening, for Example, has joystick calibration
issues in dosbox but not in staging.

This thread started more than two years ago. Since that time
"vanilla" DOSBox still has the same issues and had no releases, while
DOSBox Staging is now sitting at 0.80.1, and we're working towards
version 0.81.0. Debian users are forced to rely on non-native packages
such as Flatpak or Snap to get software that is working properly.
Is naming such a big deal that it prevents our emulator from hitting
Debian repositories? We are packaged by several other distributions
already: https://repology.org/project/dosbox-staging/versions
Please talk to us, how we can help in making DOSBox Staging packaged
on Debian?
Cheers,
