Hi Bill, i must apologize because i have done a mistake,a newbie error, i didn't want hijack your package for asking a ransom. True is that this package isn't orphaned but RFA'ed, I wrote on your Bug report logs - #313183 a month ago without reciving an answer, so i supposed (and that was my big error) that i could pack it, i haven't done big change because there aren't new skins, the last one is from the 2005,the only thing i have add new line in the changelog and modified the file control and compat as you can see at http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/e/eterm-themes, changes done using debian tools. I'm a new debian user, is a year i'm using this distro with lot pleasure but it isn't enough for me,i would like give a hand to the comunity of Debian and of the free software (isn't a case i don't mention open source..) so i started to translate some linux documents in italian, learning a lot, and i thought was a good idea to get mantain of a orphan package,your package was interesting for me because i use eterm in my debian live pen, the mutt's theme is very useful for me. I hope we can close this uggly mistake,was my fault of course, and that we can be in touch for the specific of this package, if you change idea about to leave the package maintenance or think is better sombody else does that but not me, nevermind, i will understan. My need now is to explane and make clear that my intention wasn't criminal :).
