I'm not DD either, and I'm interrested in increasing the quality of this
package, at least. I made a new package of this program (which was pretty
straightforward since the diff of the last version did patch only one line
of the source code, add debian/*, and update config.sub and config.guess).
The main problem is that the upstream documentation does not build.
I now have to check out all the bug repports, and apply the available
patches. I already contacted the upstream source to speak with them about
all the problems i encoutered, and seek for their assistance. I'm subscribed
to the upstream ML since a few month, and it's quite low traffic. I hope
I'll get a response. You can check my mail there:

Bye, Mt.
