That's a pity, because since then I have put some effort into
polishing the package. It was not beautiful to begin with and some
issues have risen after the last upstream update (the pkglib_data
autoconf issue). Nonetheless my package is still not lintian clean.

Sure. Your package is much cleaner and you've managed to deal with
bundling tinyxml, which I was unable to do. Feel free to take over the
ITP if you want to. It seems that your packaging skills are better
than mine, so it could prove quite educating for me to work with you.
If you're not ok with this please say so.

I have requested collab-maint membership on alioth so we could
co-maintain the package there. Have you considered maintaining the
source package with git-buildpackage (and friends)?

Regards,


Mateusz.
