I've been working with upstream to help make sure the next upstream version
of freetype addresses Debian's needs for ABI continuity, so I am considering
adopting the package as a result -- preferably with a team, since I'm good
with libraries and not so good with fonts, and we probably want both
skillsets involved in maintaining a font library. ;)

Let me know if you think it's ok for me to adopt this package, and whether
you prefer to keep your own name on it as maintainer until a team can be put
together.

Cheers,
