I have been requested to maintain this package by the developer - the 
DD he was working with has stopped all work on the package and is not
answering emails. Furthermore the version in debian is 1.8x and the
new version is 2.06 with lots of new fixes, features, etc.

I will read the policy and fix the control file.

Okay.

I will try to provide a more specific URL.
