Hi Alexandre, Please CC the bug (xyzxyz@bugs.debian.org) in the future. I've had to cut your reply, because we can't release private mail to the public. I appreciate that you filed an RFS for reintroduction of the package. When the package is reintroduced I'll open all the old auto-closed bugs; testing to see if an old bug still exists then that would be another way to help out. Current status/progress update: I need to carefully examine upstream source to see which of the 1000-series patches that failed to rebase can be dropped. I'll also have to analyse the package to see if sticking with CDBS would be for the best, or if we can move it to debhelper at this time. Both of these things are a bit advanced, which is why I didn't leave this work for a newcomer; Increasingly I like to leave work for newcomers, because it sometimes feels hard to find a place to contribute. Anyways, I think real-life testing has equal value to packaging, so thank you again for your willingness to contribute in this way! :-) Cheers, Nicholas
