You should start preparing a newer version of the package, making as few changes to the packaging decisions made by Manoj (e.g. stick with pre-dh debhelper if that's what he's using; don't introduce cdbs or other packaging helper tools if they aren't already in use; stick to the VCS he's using, etc.) and putting your WIP somewhere public, both as a repo that can be cloned and attach a patch to the bug. Tag the bug 'patch', too. That way, we are talking in concrete, not abstract terms. Debian is a 'do-ocracy'. As for getting it into wheezy: I don't think odds are particularly high, but the release team will need to see a newer version of the package in order to decide whether to grant a freeze exception or not. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
