Additional context

There is a newer upstream release tag but it seems to still require beancount 2.3.6

Fava is not compatible with Beancount v3 yet: beancount/fava#1831

[lunik1]

Should beancount v2 be packaged separately? It is still recommended by beancount's README.

[kilianar]

I believe the README is not up to date with the latest release. The section discussing the various branches was added four years ago and hasn't been updated since. Martin Blais, the main author, mentioned in the announcement of v3 on Google Groups:

You should not use v2 anymore.

However, it might be reasonable to retain v2 temporarily to ensure fava continues to work until it supports beancount v3.

Should be resolved by #327531
