I intend to orphan the flameshot package.

The package description is:
 Flameshot is a powerful yet simple-to-use screenshot software.
 Notable features include customizable appearance, in-app screenshot editing,
 D-Bus interface, experimental GNOME/KDE Wayland support, integration with
 Imgur and support for both GUI and CLI interface.

Upstream  stopped  vendoring  some required  dependencies  that,  though
packaged  in Debian,  are not  up-to-date and/or  do not  provide static
libraries  on  the  -dev  package  (eg:  kdsingleapplication).  From  my
limited  debugging  efforts,  latest  (13.0+)  flameshot  versions  work
fine  when  built  with  statically  compiled  kdsingleapplication,  but
fail  when  dynamically linking  with  it  (even after  trying  building
kdsingleapplication 1.2.0 from Salsa -- still `UNRELEASED` as of today).

If that is the actual root cause, coordination with kdsingleapplication
maintainer would be needed to install the static (`.a`) version of the
lib, as well as uploading its newest version, as upstream will not work
on this [1].

Due to personal stuff, I don't have the time to debug it any further.
Thus, I'm orphaning flameshot in the hope someone else will be able to
resolve those in a more timely manner.
