Hi,

Let's please continue to use xstatic packages, which are very good for
distributions. I will do the effort on the Debian side of things to make
sure that we have all packaged correctly. Using some "magic" that do the
same kind of horrible stuff as "pip install" or "pear install" or CPAN,
or... you name it, will not fix things on my side. Quite the opposite,
it will add issues after issues. The XStatic things, on the other hand,
is very easy for me to maintain, even though that's a lot of work.

It's also not Debian policy compliant to download from these sources in
a package. So that'd be a no-go for Debian, and anyway, these
dependencies would have to be packaged in some way.

Again, let's please stick on the xstatic way of doing things. It worked
for Juno, let's make it work for Kilo as well.
