Hi Stéphane, To help unblock the WeasyPrint removal, I've verified the packaging for tinyhtml5.
I built the package locally using sbuild (unstable chroot). The build succeeds, and the upstream test suite passes correctly (ignoring expected xfails). I have submitted a Merge Request on Salsa that fixes the remaining Lintian warnings where possible and aligns the package with Python Team standards: 0. Added missing "Priority: optional" to Source section. 1. Fixed description synopsis (removed leading article). 2. Set Maintainer to Debian Python Team (added you as Uploader). 3. Added standard Salsa CI configuration (salsa-ci.yml) to ensure future builds are verified automatically. Here is the MR: https://salsa.debian.org/glondu/tinyhtml5/-/merge_requests/1 As this is only my second packaging contribution, I would appreciate a close review of the changes to ensure everything meets the standards for a NEW upload. Hope that helps! Best regards, Arian On Thu, 8 Jan 2026 at 18:07, Arian Ott <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Stéphane, > > I'd like to help get tinyhtml5 into Debian to unbreak WeasyPrint.
