RFS: ksetisaver

I'm still looking for a sponsor for (and comments on) my first attempt to package a Debian application, ksetisaver. I've updated the package to match the current upstream release. The package is linda clean, but there's one lintian warning (desktop-file-in-wrong-dir) that's a carry-over from th

Hi, I got the below bug report, and I'm a bit hesitating: on one side I understand the wish from the requester, and it would be a useful extension of the package; on the other hand, I already use update-menus and update-mime to manipulate exactly the same kind of information. Moreover the two u
