That requires dedication. I'm not sure, but maybe DDs from debian-science
might be interested to support this endeavour.

Beside that I had a short look at general non-technical things:
* The changelog doesn't close an ITP bug.
* egrep -ir 'copyright' reveals that your debian/copyright doesn't reflect
  all the contents of the package.
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/03/msg00023.html
  is a good starting point.

And please feed the package to the latest version of lintian (e.g. not the one
from Lenny, in this case use the backport), you'll find some more things to take
care of.

HTH,
Sven
