And I guess it is not by chance that packages which fit into this
category often accumulate more and more very old, simply to fix
and boring bugs. I hope this can be solved since I heard several
positive voices to make group maintainance more popular.
Having the Ubuntu maintainer as co-maintainer would be a drastical
advance for both Debian and Ubuntu.
Kind regards
