After waiting now for more than 4 monthes of a reaction of the maintainers
I really lose my nerve and think the time for taking over the package is
right.

And yes - it really hurds me if a package which is relevant for projects
I'm working on are unmaintained.  Considering the fact that there is
some agreement to merge the two repositories of Debian Science and
Pkg-Scicomp[1] I would vote for moving to Debian Science.

Well, it is also not polite to our users to let a package rot for more
then two years and ignoring patches for 4 monthes - so IMHO the hijack
makes sense.

At the time of your mail (May 2009) your patch worked but in the mean
time something might have changed and I get a FTBFS problem:

Does anybody have a simple solution for this problem?  If yes, I would
volunteer to apply this and care finally for an upload.  If not I'd do
some research myself.

Kind regards and thanks to Daniel for his intermediate work on cimg
