Hi Mark,

fort77 is in the dependency chain of one of my packages, and it's currently blocked from testing because of an FTBFS. I was having a look at it, and found that the packaging was rather old-school :-) So I took the liberty of rebooting it using current tools and methods (format "3.0 (quilt)", git-buildpackage, pristine-tar, dh, and so on). Somehow that fixed the FTBFS, so I pushed the results to a new Salsa repository at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/fort77
Would you mind if I uploaded this new version to unstable as an NMU? I 
realize it's quite the opposite of usual practices for NMUs (minimal 
patches and so on), so I'd rather ask beforehand. I feel that not only 
the package doesn't seem to actually require much maintenance, but even 
when it does it's going to be easier with modern tools.
I'll wait for your opinion before doing anything.

Roland.
