Being a student myself, I quite understand his situation.

At some point I thought that would be the nicer thing to do. In fact the
packages I've just uploaded to a local ftp server carry a version
0.12.3-0.1. The maintainer field has my name 'cause I don't want to mix
things up and have ppl complaining to Neil because of my mistakes. To
make this a proper non-maintainer release I have to change that back to
"Neil ...", right? If I ever upload this to master, I'll do that.

I'll try to get in contact with him.

They are on:
http://www.efis.ucr.ac.cr/~mmagallo/debian/wmaker
ftp://simula.efis.ucr.ac.cr/pub/users/mmagallo/debian/wmaker
To get the WindowMaker package going you'll need
wmaker_0.12.3-0.1_i386.deb
libwraster0_0.12.3-0.1_i386.deb
libproplist0_0.7.1-1_i386.deb
and you may want wmaker-data_0.1_all.deb, too. Those are GPLed pixmaps.
Right now the wmaker package doesn't include any, not even the GNUstep
logo. The dependencies for wmaker are:
Depends: libc6, libjpegg6a, libpng0g, libproplist0, libtiff3g,
libwraster0 (>= 0.12.3-0.1), xlib6g (>= 3.3-5), xpm4g (>= 3.4j-0),
zlib1g, cpp
I've tested this version for a couple of weeks, and it works for me.
I've been fine tunning the package, and it's usable now ;-) Be sure to
read README.debian (Ok, ok, I have to work on the documentation)
Marcelo.
