Hi, yes, I realise you can't push to that repo, so you have another. That's not
my point. There's nothing stopping your other repo from being a clone of the
original, so there's a relationship between your efforts and the current
package in Debian. Then, when the developer MIA / package maintainer situation
is resolved, these can all be reconciled.
