Just for reference, I've "dropped it" since someone requested[1] and had
a removal granted from the archive without letting me know at all.
I was just about to do a new upload to fix some of the
open bugs and especially get the debmake stuff resolved. I saw it removed
after the fact, and simply dropped it then due to lack of energy to persue the
matter.
Thanks for taking it over again, I've used it in the past and it has done
a good job.
