PP3 is non-developed for about ten years in upstream.  At this time I
thought about packaging pp3, but failed due to some weirdness in the
upstream Makefile.  Recently "Debian Astro Pure Blend" appeared and I
found your wnpp bug.

Do you think it is still necessary / recommended to package pp3?  I
have a working package here.  It is far from being perfect and I'm
not sure if it is worth to keep on working.

Let me know your thoughts.
