sponsor required for gstar (ITP #88503)

Hi, Would anyone like to sponsor/upload a new Debian package for me? I'm awaiting DAM approval, so need someone to upload the package to testing since I've not yet got an account. I've already got a couple of packages in testing (uploaded by others). The new package is gstar (ITP #88503) and it'

debconf in preinst and postinst?

Hi, I am trying to convert moon-buggy to use debconf. Following the tutorial it was fairly easy to close #89118, ie use debconf in the preinst. I also want to close #94969, which is not that hard, but I seem to be unable to use debconf to display a message in the postinst as well, the files get mov
