Since im now helping out with logcheck, I just wanted to say that i
will help fix any major
issues in this package, if needed - will monitor the bts, but it
doesn't look like much is "needed" to
keep this alive.
Alternatively, logcheck makes light use of mime-construct and it would
be easy to migrate to a different
way of doing that, if needed
