Hi Steven, I just talked to one of the devs in regards with the Denial of Service bug s/he said it has been fixed in SVN for two years and the new release does indeed have said fix. It'd be nice to have the new release packaged up and the dependency issue fixed. The dev I spoke to also said s/he was working on repackaging amsn for debian but due to lack of time has not done so yet, don't know if that information helps.
On an unrelated note I can't seem to see this bug on the http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=amsn page yet. I've only made a few bug reports to debian bug tracker so far and they normally show up rather quickly. Thanks for your time.
