Bug#1116573: ITS: innoextract

[Alexandre Detiste <alexandre.detiste@gmail.com>]

Package: innoextract
Version: 1.9-0.1+b1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel-games@lists.debian.org

Hi,

I'm interested in salvaging your package innoextract, in accordance with
the Package Salvaging procedure outlined in the Developers Reference[1].
Your package meets the criteria for this process, and I would love to
assist in preserving and maintaining it. As the Salvage process
suggests, here is a list of the criteria that apply, in my opinion:

  - NMU
  - Bugs filed against the package do not have answers from the
    maintainer.
  - There are QA issues with the package.

I believe your package would be a great addition to the Debian Games
team (where you are welcome), and I would ask to move your Salsa repository
there[2]. innoextract is an invaluable tool for many games
and game-related utilities. I see little use of it outside unpacking
ols games assets. The same reasoning is valid for old data extractors,
like unshield, cabextract, ...

Kind regards
    Alexandre.
