OK, maybe I phrased that badly; it does sound a bit like FUD. There
are no RC bugs that I could find in a quick look at
upgrading-checklist.txt, and the package builds cleanly in a current
sid pbuilder.
In the spirit of accurate reporting, 13 of the 22 lintian warnings are
about the format of the 21 line NEWS.Debian file.
I don't think that any of this changes my major point, which is that
the package at least seems abandoned by its maintainer(s). I would be
quite happy to be corrected on this point.
All the best
David
