Not really for all of my work in Debian (although for a large chunk of it =/), but I didn't have enough time to keep up the work update-notifier requires. It is quite a lot of utnubu work, figuring out where ubuntu deviates from Debian on stuff such as python-apt, and it does involve writing a bit of code and sending patches to the ubuntu maintainer from time to time. As for the removal of update-*, the problem does seem to be quite straightforward to solve, but it would really be nice to try to upgrade the package to the newest ubuntu version, too. While I have no time to be the responsible maintainer, I'm up for working with anyone who wants to get those back into testing. See you, -- Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org> Debian Project
