Great, hopefully we can make sure libmb, libcaa etc. make it to the next
Debian stable as well.

I realise that it's a volunteer organisation. However, I didn't want
potentially useful packages to drop out of Debian because I wasn't able to
give them the required attention.
I'd much rather someone with the time and expertise take over the packaging
task, so that I can try to do a better job of keeping the upstream code in a
better shape.
I'm finally getting back into updating libmb, bringing the schema up to date
with the current XML web service. I'll try to ensure it's kept up to date in
a more timely fashion.

Yeah, I'd seen that. Work is always busy for me coming up to Christmas
though, and that coupled with personal and family commitments mean I can't
really take time out to get to this sadly.
