Hi all, in the past, I followed those rules for an obviously unmanitained package, and all it resulted in was that a DD ignored my NMU patch and uploaded his own NMU which contained all the fixes I refrained to include... (and I think he made the good choice). Since the maintainer is not a DD and is apparently inactive for one year, I would recommend Cyril to ask on -devel, and -qa if he can orphan the package, and then propose comprehensive NMU.
