It was the subject of an intent-to-package by Maitland Bottoms a while back,
and since I have an immediate need for it, I asked in the last day or two what
the status was, with the result that I'm in the process of adopting it from
him.  I did some work on the packaging last night, but it's not done yet.

Frankly, it's not something I really feel the need to own as a package, I just
want to *use* it...  :-)  So, if Mait doesn't get excited about it again there
is a good chance you could adopt it at some point.  Hopefully I'll have 
something ready to upload in a day or two.

The state of PSK-31 code for Debian seems a bit confused to me right now, and
I don't know if we have an APT weather fax program packaged yet?
