Debian contains new kernel image (2.6.35 in experimental).
It supports new technology: compcache
http://code.google.com/p/compcache/

This project creates RAM based block device (named ramzswap) which
acts as swap disk. Pages swapped to this disk are compressed and
stored in memory itself.

There was (is) an ITP to support this feature
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=495386
I asked ITP owner (Daniel Baumann) to upload it when 2.6.33 was
released eight months ago. He did upload, then he uploaded new version
of this package.
This package is in NEW stage for seven months:
http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/compcache-tools_0.6-1.html
I wrote a few mails to ftp-masters (now they are in CC, too), but
there was no answer.
Does anybody know why this package isn't approved?
Today I've installed debian/linux kernel 2.6.35 and want to use this
feature and I'm forced to build this package by hand. Why?
