Rebuilding the latest gpsprune package from Debian for OSGeo-Live is
quite trivial, see for example the git-buildpackage workflow documented
in the Debian GIS policy:

 https://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/policy/packaging.html#git-backports

Or just rebuild the source package downloaded via tracker.debian.org
with pdebuild in a cowbuilder chroot with the OSGeo-Live nightly PPA
enabled.

Updating the package now requires the docs to be reviewed again for
18.6. If the package was updated first the docs needed to be updated
only once.

Kind Regards,
