Hi,
I've just seen your ITP is already some time old. For i have just today been approached by the upstream of spandsp to do the deb for YATE, I had put a new copy together myself already. Yet as I now see your wnpp bug, I'd like to crosscheck with mine and add the asterisk-fax to the one that should be uploaded.
The package is already built and uploaded, currently in the NEW queue and hence inaccessible from incoming. I have uploaded my packages to http://people.debian.org/~sjr/ (the glitch in the rules file that updates the wrong config.guess/config.sub files is already corrected in my local copy).
I've put my deb into pkg-voip svn to have it together with YATE and asterisk. Please comment if you'd like to maintain it when uploaded (in pkg-voip or standalone) or if you'd prefer it maintained by me.
I did the initial packaging as I work for a VoIP company and need the package on a daily basis. In fact I don't really care who maintains the package since it is not overly complicated, but I do prefer it to be done by someone on non-i386 (as you might guess from the .diff.gz).
