Is upstream still working on this package? The last upload seems to
have been in 2004!

It is indeed true that
diff -ur hashalot-0.3-[45] | wc -c
returns just about 5K. And these are the changes documented in the
changelog.
At a cursory glance it looks like this package may continue to need
such large patches it it continues to be un-maintained upstream (if
only for re-autotool-ing!).
Is Adam willing to take up the task of being de-facto long-term
maintainer of the package in this case?
Regards,
Kapil.
