Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
I am trying to compile on sid the latest upstream version of wf-config (v0.11.0).  The compilation fails.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
git clone of https://github.com/wayfirewm/wf-config ... sbuild
   * What was the outcome of this action?

build fails due  to linking errors with -ldoctest.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

successful build.

Digging around other distros recommend v2.5.1 or latest of doctest-dev

https://github.com/doctest/doctest/issues/1098

Please can we uplift the version of the package to at least v2.5.1? - I note upstream has released v2.5.3

Note - filing this from ubuntu, which has the same issue since ubuntu inherits v2.5.0 from Debian.
