Well, I made a package of 0.2.7 that's lintian and linda clean. It's a
newer version and has some bug fixes, but I'm not sure if it should
really be uploaded. First off, I couldn't get 0.3.1 to compile for me,
so I wasn't able to make a package closing the GTK2 bug on beaver.
Secondly, and more importaintly, upstream isn't really alive.
On to the beaver-devel list, the main maintainer said,

I really like beaver, but I don't really have the time ( or really the
skills ) to maintian the actual code base. Given that, what should happen?
My package of beaver 0.2.7 is at http://csacca.thecsl.org/debian/beaver/
but perhaps beaver should be dropped from debian as no one is
maintaining the code any more.
Thank you for your time and advice,
