Hmm. I'm instinctively reluctant to prop up dlocate if the current maintainer
isn't taking care of it and it needs deeper work. On the other hand, if it
is mature and we simply need to maintain the status quo, then perhaps
propping up is all it needs.
It has one issue with Multi-Arch [1], but it runs fine otherwise and
more people seem to be using it again after I closed some of the bugs [2].
Put less gently I suppose the question is: does dlocate deserve its place
in Wheezy and just needs this little tidying up, or should we consider
removing it?
I would say, yes. It also has some additional nice little helper scripts
for holding and unholding packages etc.
I might be willing to adopt dlocate in the future if no one else steps up.
Cheers,
Adrian
