dvipng: Version 1.8 package (NMU / New Maintainer)



Hello,

(Package description: dvipng -- convert PNG graphics from DVI files)

I have not received any responses. A slightly amended version is at:

	http://www.imsc.res.in/~kapil/dvipng/dvipng_1.8-0.2.diff.gz
	http://www.imsc.res.in/~kapil/dvipng/dvipng_1.8-0.2.dsc
	http://www.imsc.res.in/~kapil/dvipng/dvipng_1.8.orig.tar.gz

Some points to note:

1. dvipng in Debian is version 1.5 while upstream is 1.8. According to
   upstream's response to #366946 is in the process of preparing 1.9!

2. The NMU would close #330540, #346181, #327130 and #346084 in addition to
   #338807 (which asks for packaging 1.7). 

3. popcon of dvipng is at 1062.

4. There is no response from the maintainer. Perhaps he is MIA.

5. I am willing to adopt this package with a new maintainer version
   if the package is actually orphaned.

Regards,

Kapil.
