A more proper workflow would have been to poke the debian maintainer, fork the source and rebuild on DCI while we wait for a fix.

If DCI is broken, then it should be fixed for package building instead of doing random wget's and apt installs.

As expected, this code is now broken because the debs are gone :

I noticed yet another workaround https://github.com/netrunner-desktop/live-build/blob/master/customization/hooks/live/04-workaround-cala-libpythonqt.hook.chroot

Again, I would like a explanation why the package wasn't rebuilt through DCI?
