Dear Maintainer,

TreeSheets looked quite bad on my HiDPI monitor.  I decided to
investigate whether this problem was solved in the upstream Git repo,
and indeed it is -- after installing from Git, the experience is much
improved.  The problem in Debian is that the version packaged is very
old -- 1.0.2 is from August 2019.  The author stated that they "don't do
releases", and that users should get fresh builds from github:

I suppose that Debian packaging the 1.0.2 version is not a great favor
to users; it would be better to grab a fresher version once in a while.

Thanks!
