You need to register as new maintainer, read the instructions at http://www.de.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/developers-reference/ch1.html#s1.2 Or you have to find another _active_ maintainer that will take a look at the packagage and make a new upload. You should also take a look at the lintian checks and fix the reported bugs, too: http://fatman.mathematik.tu-muenchen.de/~schwarz/lintian/report/Christophe_Le_Bars.html#ocaml > Ocaml 1.07 comes with a new licence who permits it to be in hamm, > and not in non-free like before, so i think it is important that > it get packaged before the hamm freeze (especially since i think > the license got changed in part so it can be part of debian).
