Hmm, so as interim maintainer ai add it to the doc directory,
install it in /usr/doc/rc and forward it upstream.

Hmm, not that I know of. Currently the package is pretty much
orphaned. I have a fixed version in my queue and will upload
it - including a really orphaning - if you don't want to take
over the pkg or want to work on it but want me to upload the
fix.
