Let me add some more info for the prospective maintainer:
* This is a native package, i.e. you need to become upstream of aptsh
to maintain the package.
* aptsh currently fails to build from source (FTBFS) for several
reasons, not only for those already reported:
+ Uses no more supported debhelper compatibility level (easy to fix,
reported as https://bugs.debian.org/817350)
+ As soon as you've fixed that, you'll run into some C++ issues
(either APT 1.3 or GCC 6 related, maybe both) which aren't
obvious, at least not to me. (I shortly looked into it for an NMU
before the package was orphaned, but I really only had a quick
look at it.)
Regards, Axel
