tags 329604 pending thanks The updated version of the package has been ready for a while -- indeed, as you noted, it was even the basis for the new upstream release...
It can be downloaded from http://www.mathgen.ch/debian/sid/ If anyone wants to upload it (as a sponsor), please go ahead, it should be ready. The sponsor of the previous versions is willing to do it, but it should not be a problem if someone else does it earlier. Frederic
