The Debian package has patches from 3 contributors since upstream 
development stopped, but most of the commits are mine.  This has been 
enough to get us from LLVM 5 then to 9 now, but might not be if future 
LLVM changes are harder to adapt to, and I don't promise to keep trying.

Fedora's beignet package has been removed ( 
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/beignet ), and FreeBSD's is marked as 
deprecated ( https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=233652 ).

The Neo bug I refer to is in the Debian packaging, so presumably limited 
to the Debian/Ubuntu family.
