Why is the package's Maintainer field set to someone who has no
obvious
connection with the package?
This is because Samuel did most of the packaging work half a year
ago, and I just updated it to match current gcc version and fixed
some
problems. However, he didn't managed to upload this package to sid
(eg. by asking a sponsor), and didn't replied me about the
maintenance
of this package. I've been waiting for his reply for two weeks.
FYI, Samuel's work is avaible at github[1].

Is it appropriate to just take over maintenance in this case? If so,
I will change the maintainer field to myself and remove Samuel, then
upload a 4.6.3-2 version.
Perhaps the DMUA field adds some security concern. However currently,
neither Samuel nor I am a DM. In later versions, I'll just drop DMUA
field and ask my sponsor, Steffen, to use the new DM permission
interface (after I become a DM).
