Yay! And it was just in time before Debian's imminent freeze.

Thanks for that summary. Since the only things which I feared after
reading the Git changelog were the code reformatting commits, I was
reliefed to see that most patches I apply for Debian still apply (or
became obsolete :-).

Given that I expect an low impact as mentioned before I have uploaded
it to Debian Unstable today.

It built fine everywhere so far (a few builds haven't started yet),
except on GNU/Hurd:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=screen

Seems as if our current fix for GNU/Hurd
(https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/screen.git/tree/debian/patches/61-default-PATH_MAX-if-undefined-for-hurd.patch)
needs to be expanded to screen.h, too.

I'll come up with that patch later today and will upload an
accordingly patched version of GNU Screen to Debian Unstable. If it
works, I'll forward it either to this list or savannah.

                Kind regards, Axel
