I began the effort on 0.98.12-3, but of course I should fix for
example the package log to mention 0.98.12-4, and also incorporate any
applicable changes. I must confess that I wasn't aware of this new
version of the fceu package.

I must also confess that I wasn't aware of this bug, but I will take a
look at it and see if the same fix needs to be applied to fceux 2.1.5.

I want this to be as friendly as possible, but so far Joe hasn't been
very responsive at all. In fact, even this RFS didn't get any response
from Joe, and the last response I got to any e-mail I've sent to him
was in late 2009. I'm simply not sure how to approach this, but if
this doesn't get his attention, a "hostile takeover" might be
necessary. How is this kind of situation usually handled in Debian?
