In this case, it appears that the package has been dropped from the distribution entirely (probably because of the security issues), so there's no bug open about it being orphaned. You can't NMU it, because there's nothing to NMU. You'd have to upload it as a new package. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
