It seems to work, too.
For testing purposes, yesterday, i submitted three new screenshots.
Now, the https://screenshots.debian.net/ home page says:

  Newest upload: mandoc: BSD manpage compiler toolset

If you read this message with significant delay, see

  https://screenshots.debian.net/package/mandoc

I'm sure people *must* have screenshots before they would consider
switching from man-db/groff (the Debian defaults) to mandoc...  =;c)

It appears the site displays screenshots in reverse chronological
order, last submitted first, which results in a really weird
ordering for mandoc but may make sense when GUI software has been
around for a long time and people submit new screenshots showing
the latest functionality.

It appears that even though OpenBSD and Debian have significantly
different project goals, project size, project culture,
technical foundations and technical methodologies, relevant
synergies have been developing on the fringes of the projects
for some time now.

For example, we have become prolific users of

  https://codesearch.debian.net/

in particualar for LibreSSL, but certainly not for LibreSSL only, and

  https://manpages.debian.org/

uses the mandoc mdoc(7), man(7), tbl(7) and eqn(7) parsers and the mandoc
HTML renderer (even though it uses its own database and searching code
and its own CSS file).  And *of course* Debian is using OpenSSH and pf(4)
by default.  Oh wait... :)

Yours,
  Ingo
