I don't know. But there are a few open ITP bugs for some of their 
software packages, e. g.

- Geant4:   https://bugs.debian.org/965964
- ROOT:     https://bugs.debian.org/981113
- CVMFS:    https://bugs.debian.org/1016722

The bugs are owned by Stephan and Yachen. @Stephan, @Yachen: Do you 
happen to have an answer to Fred's question?

Best regards,

Peter
