The *.dsc link above does not work, so I visited the rednotebook's 
page on mentors and used this link (the last upload):

https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/rednotebook/rednotebook_2.2-2.dsc

The 'debian/changelog' file is a little bit difficult to 
understand. There is a lot of entries like that:

rednotebook (X.X-X) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

On dates that it was not part of Debian. The package has been 
removed on [Date: Sat, 01 Jul 2017 16:31:39 +0000]

The last entry in 'debian/changelog' file is:

rednotebook (2.2-2) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium

  * Team upload.
  * Packaged for Debian Mentors.
  * Non maintainer upload

The maintainer is Jonathan Wiltshire (last upload 1.8.1-1). Not 
Jendrik Seipp (as is written on 'debian/control')

'debian/changelog', 'debian/control' and 'debian/rules' files 
needs adjusts. 

There is a lot of work to do to put this package back.

Herbert
