Right.
I find it annoying that after the sympa-drama before the etch release,
we are now likely to run into another sympa-drama. Sympa is not an
unmaintained software package: upstream is active, responsive and AFAIK
willing to help. There's absolutely no reason why sympa should be in a
crappy state in Debian.
In #354355 (the "etch sympa-drama bug"), Stefan Hornburg refused several
times to consider co-maintainance for sympa. I'm not sure if Jean
Charles Delepine is still interested in co-maintaining it, but maybe we
should try to convince Stefan to accept co-maintainance now.
Maybe we could even avoid a sympa problem before the squeeze release.
