Heh, a couple of hours ago I posted a message to pkg-nagios-devel
pledging for someone from the Nagios packaging team to sponsor my NMU
as both the uploaders which usually sponsor my uploads appear to be
busy. But it seems that the message did not reach the list, at least I
do not see it archived.
In any case, my call for help still holds, so may be you could direct
me to someone who could do the upload?
The source package's URL (ready for `dget`) is [1].
