Yes, InVesalius have a new homepage[1] now. Ah, I added a new patch to make invesalius opens the sample file inside the "/usr/share/doc/invesalius-examples/examples/" since the sample file is not inside the source code folder. I think it's a good idea. I checked the package and it seems to be lintian free. Thanks! [1] - http://www.cti.gov.br/invesalius/
