I interchanged some mails with Jean (and we talked through IRC) because i reviewed
Jean's package and asked him to do some changes, but he was busy so we decided
to postpone work in the package until he has time for it. We should have
updated this information in the BTS, tho.
I do not have real interest in the package, i was willing to sponsor it
to get libmtp support in amarok, so i think the best here is you work
with Jean: sponsoring, co-maintaining or whathever you like better.
If you want to upload his current package (after update it) is fine with me,
but i would ask you try to talk with Jean first.

P.S: for some reason, Rafael's mail never reached my inbox, but Sam's mail did,
so i had to get Rafael's mail thru the BTS. Rafael, could you check your logs?
I would like to know if it was a problem in my side. Thanks!
