Unfortunately, the answer to both questions would be "no".
With upstream moving faster indeed than originally anticipated, and with
Luciano planning to officially step down from his Debian duties, I no
longer have the energy, bandwidth and skills to realistically maintain
the packaging effort on par with latest upstream releases.
What would be the most sensible way to signal either that help would be
needed, or that the effort has stopped? We informally thought of
orphaning the package, but if there is indeed interest, might not be the
best approach.
Best - and thanks for the work on the latest 0.12.0-4 upload,
