I'm on it right now. I was wondering whether I could make some "biggish" 
changes such as switching to the debhelper short form for d/rules and some 
clean-up of the package in the next future.

I have also done a quick bug triage, and I think a good number of the 
reports can be closed without further work (I'll do a second pass first,
just to make sure).

Cheers
