Well done, I gave up earlier than this when I found there are reasonable
alternatives. Lepton EDA is file-compatible with gschem and pcb-rnd
with PCB. Both are available in Debian from Bullseye onwards (and
Lepton also in Buster), the debug symbols are only available in Sid at
the moment.
They aren't as smooth and polished, and I don't know about net file
transfer between them. I've just used Lepton so far for a few
schematics, and pcb-rnd ('rnd' apparently for random improvements) to
get some information from existing PCB files, I haven't had the need to
actually make a PCB since I installed them.
