The last attempt was done by Dominique Belhachemi. http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~domibel/amide/ Yaroslav Halchenko and I tried to complete the packaging, but we stopped at some point due to the lack of interest (I guess). Anyway, we packaged volpack: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-exppsy/volpack/?rev=0&sc=0 But unfortunately discovered that libfame is non-free. As none of us wanted to maintain another non-free package the whole process stopped at that point.
