  Sorry to be so long to notice this message.

  I've been interested in yaz only because I was trying to package Koha.
I still have an IPT on Koha, but I did not make a lot of progress here
(mostly because I do not have enough free time).
  At the time I looked at yaz, I uploaded it to experimental because I did
not want to break anything (it was before etch) and I do not know enough
yaz to know if its API changed.
  I can maintain it if you want [1], but I will not be a regular user of it.

  Best regards,
    Vincent

[1] only if the current maintainer agree or if it is declared MIA
