Yes, have a look here: http://qa.debian.org/[EMAIL PROTECTED] You can access this page from the team's wiki: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia Some of the packages do not report the latest upstream version because no watch file was included in the relevant source package.

That's true, but I guess many of the visitors of debian-multimedia are interested in getting packages not legally distributable by Debian, like codecs and encoders/decoders. It's difficult to say how many of them are actually interested in other types of audio/multimedia packages. An initiative for increasing the number of DDs in t he Debian Multimedia Team would be a Good Thing, though :) Ciao!
