Sorry for my lousy way of expression. Let me try again...: You cannot simply hijack a package. True, you can hijack a package - after ensuring that the current package maintainer is truly MIA (missing in action). Just looking at the time since latest change to the package is *not* enough to judge its maintainer as MIA, and neither is looking at activity on bugreports for the package! None of this is Truth(tm), only opinion.
