Bug#544029: ITA: libavg -- Ain't Vector Graphics

so why you want to adopt it?
Please consider take under your maintenance only package you know and
care about. It doesn't seem you have enough interest in this package
(and in the other RFA/ITA you sent today) to
Don't get me wrong: we appreciate you'd like to dedicate some of your
time to Debian packaging, but until you find packages you're really
interested in (use it daily, written in a programmin language you
know, etc) there are other things you can do, f.e.:
- fix some RC bugs; squeeze freeze is coming, so starting it with low
RC bugs count would be nice; try rc-alert tool
- do some QA uploads (they are upload for orphaned packages, where you
bring them up-to-date without needed to adopt them); try wnpp-alert
tool.
- join a team and do some maintenance team work: for example, perl,
python, java, haskell, CLI teams are some of the biggest team in
Debian, and joining them would allow you to work with several people
on several pacakges; of couse, if you're insteresed in some others,
just ask to join them :)
- propose patches: several bugs left unanswered or just wait for a
patch to be sent to be fixed; you can try to send patches to bugs of
pacakges you use the most, other users will appreciate
- bugs triaging: there are several pacakges with a lot of bugs filed
(X.org, iceweasel, just to name 2) and it would be nice if you can
confirm or not the bugs still applies with the current versions of teh
packags.
> If you are available for some guidance I would be happy to adopt it

If Torsten is fine, you can propose a QA upload, but adopting a
package you don't use it doesn't seems so right to me.
