I put a copy of the source .deb at
http://turok.clustermonkey.org/~laz/screen
It's debconfified, it uses dpkg-statoverride for changing the perms on
the binary and the directory. Also, the utmp group is in policy as being
there, so there is no need to test for it. There may be a need to depend
on a dpkg > a certain version (as dpkg-statoverride is a relatively new
thing). I also changed the install to use more of the ./configure flags
to configure it vs. hacking on the source.
I started looking through the bugs a while back, the following are
fixed: 49309, 55082, 60880, 74911 and bugs 45026, 45325 are old and
should probably be closed.
Let me know if you have any questions as to why I changed the things I
did. I'm on irc.openprojects.net as laz most times.
I'm glad the screen package is being maintained once again :)
