Erik doesn't seem to have dropped off the net: The last update of Quemu launcher is dated 2006-11-14, and his main web page carries a news item dated 2006-02-23...

In the meantime you could release an interrims tarball '1.5.1+patches20060225' or something of this type. > Sorry if this post is not strictly mentors list related, but I was > hoping that someone at Debian has already dealt with similar situation > and would care to share experience. Establishing and maintaining upstream relations is amongst the most important tasks for Debian package maintenance, so your question is definetly on-topic here.
