Thank you for your mail. I believe this NMU should act as the beginning of
adoption. I am willing to package its newer snapshots and fix bugs later.
It would be great if somebody could help sponsor this NMU now since the
original maintainer shows up and agrees with it.
Many thanks to everyone involved here. (especially the MIA team)
