To be honest I was just trying to get round to changing it to an RFP, so I have no objections to you taking it over. I havn't done much beyond getting it to build, because I don't understand how dpkg handles shared libs. When I do, I can find some other package with a lib. (it looks like isfree, which I'm packaging now, will end up with a shlib anyway, so a nice intro... =)
