I skimmed the logs for all of the serious and important bugs against
fdutils, and I didn't see any follow-ups from you. How long have you been
planning this? If you want to clean up the package and take it over, why
not start by sending information and patches to the BTS?
I do not think that it would be wise to introduce so many changes to fdutils
when we are trying to freeze. There is only one release-critical bug
against fdutils, and it can be fixed by a one-character change.
