Hi,

I would be very interested by the addition of 'arduino-cli' to the 
Debian repository. Indeed, the now deprecated 'arduino-builder' does not 
support newer Arduino boards like the Nano 33 family and I suspect more 
of them.

It seems the 'arduino-cli' package is nearing a 1.0.0 stable release, 
and it is already a very capable tool, so it might be interesting to 
start packaging its dependencies.

I don't think I will be able to help packaging, but I could help testing 
packages for sure.
