My contribution is completely a thing to the past, and should be
recorded in the related bug reports: This is an entire suite of packages
which - besides being faily old - all suffered from a missing build
system so I ported it to cmake for the buster release. That was a huge
amount of work and I'm not really proud of the result. Activities
included contacting upstream, and he eventually provided a copy of the
configuration tool but I stronly doubt it's worth to revive it.
Long story short, good ride with this package. In case you want some
more old stories or additional insight, just ping me. Odds are my
reaction will be "Oh, you're right, I missed that bit".
Kind regards,
Christoph
