Actually, what causes prospective maintainers to refrain from packaging
that software, is when their packaging is ignored for 14 months and then
the ticket changed from ITP to RFP.

The original packaging is still available at

There is NO point encouraging someone else to waste more effort on this,
when no Debian developer is interested.

Ciao,
