Is the maintainer MIA? Maybe the package should be checked for that
and maybe get a more active one. Are you intrested? Have you asked the
maintainer about the fragroute status?
Reading through the bug (351269) I see that Julien Danjou
<acid@debian.org> already did an NMU of this package to DELAYED/5 on
May 16th. That should have hit the archive on the 21st.
Julien: What is hapening with your NMU? It seems to be lost.

No fix for sarge then. Lets hope etch will be ready for X-mas.

You aren't, no worries. It is good when people point out problems like
this. And some toes are good to be stepped onto once in a while. :)
