Probably because it's too complicated to be of use unless you're managing something on the scale of the debian archive.

Hmm, I wasn't exactly satisfied with mini-dinstall when I started to use it, but it seemed like a much better trade-off to contribute feedback and bug reports than dilute effort with yet another tool to do the same thing. And now I *am* happy with it, except for a couple of bugs. > To who should the request be addressed? ftp masters?

Like everyone else on the internet, you have read access to cvs.debian.org for dinstall's source. -- see shy jo
