I'm currently not active, so I'm very happy with Guilhem bringing this
forward. I'm not particularly happy with the switch to debhelper, but
do not veto if it's necessary to progress.
Comaintenance is fine too. I not yet know Guilhem and his work for
Debian, but this won't change too soon, because my time to spend on
Debian is currently quite limited.
I hope Guilhem finds a sponsor soon.
Regards, Gerrit.
