There are two packages, which I'd like to take over from you - hopefully,
you'll later still be able to help out occasionally... ...in case of need.

The main reason for the package takeover would be to learn package
handling, as I plan to build a few more packages later (among them a Roxen
package, I just won't step forward to do that until I have some experience
with doing that).
A possible third module might be:
> knfs Kernel NFS tools
But - I am not yet moving to the 2.1 kernel release, so kernel nfs is not
yet an option for me... So, let's postpone that one.

When I take over those packages, should I understand the above as to
release a new version of the package fairly soon, only so the package
maintainer gets changed (even if there are no real changes in the
package)?
If you would like me to take over those packages, please let me know.
