Yes. Me. Sorry I took so long to reply, I have unsubscribed to debian-user
and left the mailbox to read "sometime".

Enlightenment will go to non-free, it seems. It's not uploaded yet because
my maintainer registration proccess is halted. Also, I will not package DR10
as Rater said he'll be releasing DR11 soon. But there's a debian-i386
package of ImLib already on ftp://ftp.arkham.net/pub/E.
