Actually I pretty much completed the packaging by the time I've submitted RFP
bug. :)

Great! It is very nice to see that someone other than myself would like to
introduce Zint to Debian. Zint's RFP failed to attract any interest for three
years but finally here you are. ;)

I see... There is a new release...

Yes, always.

I don't mind that either. I think RFP makes it fairly obvious that nobody is
working on Zint at the moment and that anyone if free/welcome to take over.
Three years ago I did not introduce Zint because I thought I might be the
only one who needed it. Also there was a new fork on GitHub and it was
uncertain which project will be maintained [1]. Also Zint was quite dormant
for a long time so I had doubts if it is worth uploading...
Now packaging needs some work (hopefully not too much) and new upstream
version might be suitable for upload... I might have a look...
