No - well, yes, ten minutes ago, but no reply. Of course, I should
have done that more than ten minutes ago, but:

I reasoned that when a maintainer doesn't react to bug reports for 8+
months, and doesn't stop QA from orphaning all his packages (except an
obsolete one that was too well hidden), he must have fallen off the 'net.

oo2c32 is replaced by oo2c (which is simply a newer upstream version
with support for 64-bit machines) Both were maintained by Mike Goldman,
but only oo2c was orphaned. I adopted oo2c, and a sponsored upload
(by Colin Watson) is under way.
