Simon Josefsson helps maintain Debian packges for several of his other
packages (gss, shishi) and may be willing to help. He's also generally
great about staying in touch with the Debian maintainers of his packages
and might know more about what's going on. Have you talked to him about
this? You may want to set up something like what we have with gss and
shishi where the Debian packaging is maintained on Savannah and Simon is a
listed co-maintainer.
