I think Andi meant that it should be possible for someone with an interest
in the package to get it back into a releasable state -- not that the
current package would be considered appropriate for inclusion in etch.
I certainly don't intend to let uclibc back into etch in its current state;
and probably not at all given the timeline, though Andi could choose to do
so.
