One more idea… If you’re willing to temporarily add the Debian testing “deb-src” repository to your sources.list, which should be slightly safer, then there’s a chance that this might work: https://wiki.debian.org/SimpleBackportCreation
Seems not completely crazy, unless MX has its own way to do that.
There was a sudden unexplained jump in the number of simplified Chinese users counted in the previous survey, few of whom run linux apparently. It was probably some kind of error because their number has now gone back down. People expected it because that’s not the first time it happened.
