Debian packager's wishlist

While pacakging libstrangle for Debian, a few things have arisen that could be fixed upstream (here) for better and easier packaging:

  • If possible, use standard Vulkan headers. Currently libstrangle uses functions that are not included in the vulkan headers packaged in Debian's libvulkan-dev.
  • Make CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS overridable – basically, they shouldn't include the flags required for building, like includes.
  • Provide proper copyright and license information on the screenshot in the repo.
  • Provide manpages for strangle and stranglevk.
  • Release a new version with the improvements.

Apart from the last one, these are in descending order of importance. I'll wait a bit for comments before I start opening the proper individual issues.
