Bug#1115269: O: ddd -- Data Display Debugger, a graphical debugger frontend



Hi.  I'm interested in adopting and helping maintain this package, but
only if it becomes team-maintained.  Is there any relevant team this
package would belong in?

Are you aware of any big rewrites necessary to update to latest upstream
version?
