Hi, I started on Debian at Ham release. At that time mpage was part of Debian. So I've a profound relationship with mpage as great tool along all these years.
But if my statement is correct, that package after 20 years at Debian was wrongly removed due a license which doesn't apply to delivered binaries, do you really believe the best approach is to ask a volunteer out of Debian developers/maintainers to join on Debian mentors to fix it? Wouldn't be easier for you and Eriberto to just revert the removal? I guess that any DSC from theses 20 years of Debian would work just fine.
