Good ... but they added zenity as a dependency! So I built a version for antiX buster/testing/sid that removes that dependency.
Should hit the repos soon.

Good news. It's unthinkable that synaptic would have been left out of Debian.

Phew! I had read elsewhere that there seems to be a conspiracy from a group of developers to undermine Debian. Not sure if there is any truth to it. Now that Windows has bought into the opensource movement who knows, anything is possible. Bottom line is greed! If they can't make a buck off it the want to wreck it for everyone else. Thank you for repos like Mx Linux!
