Hehe, perhaps I was too fast there. first of, I remade the package,
making it less changed from the previous version. The only real change
now is the new upsteam version and internationalization of manpages. I
have contacted the maintainer, but no reply as of yet, I noticed that
the wishlist report I made is a dupe from an bug report (marked
important), made 45 days ago, and no reply by maintainer, so I'm
afraid the maintainer is MIA.
When is the final deadline for lenny? was hoping that the latest
version could get squeezed in there.
