Hi, Kevin.
First of all, thank you very much for your reply. It is quite welcome.

This is, indeed a pity.

I can try to add my voice to ask him to upload a new package (or even
help, if I know what to do) once I know precisely what the problem is.

Hummm, perhaps we don't have that many people interested in high quality
typesetting? :-(
I think that your RFS was lost in the middle of the many e-mails (and
the restructuring of the mentors site) and asking it again would
probably get you someone interested in sponsoring at least one first
version.

I don't actually think that a package that isn't that invasive should be
a problem for etch.
Anyway, uploading it to unstable would be a good thing (or, at least,
uploading it experimental), so that the "guinea pigs" (read: "me
included") can actually experiment with it, provide feedback and report
bugs in an "official way" (even if it has to spend some time in the NEW
queue).
Thank you very much for your efforts, Rogério Brito.
