I packaged agt for a while; I was its original maintainer. During this time, upstream was ... unresponsive, to say the best. He promised initially to keep me well informed of releases, etc, since there was no mailing list at the time, which was nice. However, 3 upstream releases went by without any notification, and he was completely uncontactable for the best part of a year.
After I just gave up and wrote my own init script because agt was so horrible and badly, badly broken, I decided to orphan it, and Steve picked it up. During this time, it had a few bugs, including that agt would segfault if every file didn't have a trailing newline. He was completely mystified by the (awful) code, and so handed it to Herbert Xu to look at. Herbert had no clue, and decided it was the "worst code [he had] ever seen". So yeah, because of a combination of these, I don't think agt should be in Debian again. It's already previously been removed from the archive.
