I'm collecting a few hints and patches in BTS, as well as contacting reports for clarifications and information. I could upload a new version with some fixes in the meantime. If you agree, I could upload a NMU quite soon to fix a few urgencies. I'm quite confident to squash the remaining serious bugs in a few days, but at least one point requires a precise choice from the proper maintainer, i.e. adding or not debconf support to manage ldap/nis maps or not. A partial solution is a better documentation for some obscure aspects of remote maps. If you are seriously interested in maintainership I could set the new Maintainer field, else I would use the QA contact. Eventually we could consider co-maint. I use autofs in NIS environment, so I could work better on some aspects. > BTW, is the package formally orphaned, or should I just do NMUs?
