In addition, you should probably check the WNPP before uploading
apparently unmaintained packages. In this case, you would have found
that (a) makepasswd has been orphaned, so all this NMU verbiage was
unnecessary, and (b) I'd filed an ITA, and a mail to me would probably
have kicked me into action enough to finish adopting it, since I'd fixed
all these bugs locally already. (I'd been a bit slow to get round to
uploading this, granted; sorry about that.)
