orphan defoma?



Defoma hasn't been updated since last May.
The maintainer is 'missing in action' and
does not respond to e-mail.  I am about to
file yet another bug report about a memory
leak that occurs when defoma-font register-all
operates on a large hintfile. (try the defoma-capable
larabie ttf font packages at people.debian.org/~erich)

Font management is a serious barrier to the
average newbie user.  Debian isn't supposed
to be only for developers.  Defoma shows
promise for managing the insane font schemes
in X and ghostscript, but it doesn't work well
as it is now.  Please consider orphaning the
package and seeking a new maintainer.  --mark--
