I will write to CVR (upstream) asking him for his opinion. Another
possibility is that tex-live may be in "etch" in which case
"pdfscreen" as part of tex-live will also presumably in "etch".

Tentatively, I may offer to take over the this package since it seems
to (currently) require very little work to maintain. This decision is
pending what response I get from CVR so don't get your hopes up yet:)
Also note that I am not a DD so the package will only make it into
"etch" if I find a sponsor.

Regards,

Kapil.
