Unfortunately, no, I didn't have the possibility.
I uploaded hfsprogs to mentors.debian.net and it overwrote your package.
I didn't notice that the packages had the same name. :-( I'm now very
sad due to that.

I don't know which patch is this. I just got the patch from Gentoo,
inspected it and saw that there is room for improvements. I think that
some of those things should be sent upstream.
I will try to contact people at Apple and see if they want patches.
Otherwise, I think that we could, as a team, work together on this
package to make it clean and have our own stack of patches. Using quilt
makes this very easy.

Ah, this is indeed a problem. Upon calling utilities on amd64, I get the
programs running up to a certain point. I will check this.
I'm open to seeing other points where the package could be improved.
