The only package I use (or rather would use if it was a recent
version) is xconq. There was some discussion about repackaging it [1]
and a mail from its maintainer (Peter Crystal, [2]), but no upload
since. What is the current status, Peter?
I really would like to have xconq 7.4.1 in woody. For that we would
have to fix the grave bug #80576, but since that seems to be caused in
commandline parsing (haven't looked into the source yet), it shouldn't
be too hard to fix.
If noone else steps forward, I may start to package xconq 7.4.1 from
scratch, try to fix #80576 and look trough the other (esp. RC) bugs
(probably #107410 is fixed by new upstream and #107313 has a patch).
