[Pkg-bitcoin-devel] Packaging alternative bitcoin implementation

[Amaury SECHET]

Not sure if you are aware, but the bitcoin core client you guys are
distributing is more or less taken over by a company which many consider
has goal don't align with the bitcoin community.

>From there, 2 forks appeared in the name of bitcoin classic and bitcoin
unlimited.

By packaging only core, debian is making a stance in these events. If
debian wants to make a stance, I suggest you guys do it with bitcoin
classic or unlimited. However, I suppose it is preferable for debian to
stay out of the debate and just make bitcoind and bitcoin-qt virtual
packages and provides the 3 implementations.

I can provide support packaging classic and unlimited if that's necessary.

Thanks,

Amaury SECHET
