Hi all,
in the past, I followed those rules for an obviously unmanitained
package, and all it resulted in was that a DD ignored my NMU patch and
uploaded his own NMU which contained all the fixes I refrained to
include... (and I think he made the good choice).
Since the maintainer is not a DD and is apparently inactive for one
year, I would recommend Cyril to ask on -devel, and -qa if he can orphan
the package, and then propose comprehensive NMU.
Have a nice day,
