An expression we like to use (anyone from the country I'm from will know where it would be), the maintainer abandoned his boat and as wrar mentioned, he made NMUs making some corrections to the package until he gave up. The maintainer is alive and I sent a message to the MIA team about this yesterday to reinforce his move, he just hasn't been maintaining the package for about a year and I don't think there are people excited about making new NMUs after a package salvaging (ITS). -- Cheers, Leandro Cunha
