Hi!

I don't usually do reviews, but I would like this version to be accepted
into the archive sooner, so here we go ;)

Changelog is good, I looked at the salsa commit history, also good.

The package builds OK, and salsa CI passes.

Overall, LGTM!

A few (somewhat pedantic) notes for improvement on your next upload:

d/control: you can drop "Priority: optional" and "Rules-Requires-Root:
no", they are not needed anymore (since dpkg version 1.22.13). debhelper
14 also allows you to drop ${misc:Depends}, ${python3:Depends}.

Cheers,
