It seems that you did not react to Paul's suggestions to improve the
package. Moreover it seems that you have not updated to package since
that 27 Oct 2007.
ay I ask you if you are still interested in maintaining the package? At
our university, we have quite a number of machines with Intel's AMT and
having a well maintained package would be helpful.
You might also be interested to hear that a collegue of mine, Michael
Gernoth (CC'ed) maintains a private git repository of amt at [1]. He
just mentioned to me that at least some of his package really should go
in the debian package.
Please tell me if you are interested in Co-Maintenance or if you prefer
if someone else would take over this ITP.
