It has been almost a year with no visible movement toward packaging
(at least on this bug). This is genuinely useful free software. We try
so hard to not step on each others toes that I think we sometimes
really hurt our users. And I think this is one of those cases.

Don: It may not be worth very much but you have my permission and
encouragement to go forward with whatever you you can do to help get
Sigil into Debian.

And I'm still willing to put some time and effort into seeing this
happen. Keep me in the loop!

Later,
