Hello Indeed my friend that was maintaining the Debian package had personal issues and was not able to maintain it anymore.
Beside being a basic user I am not super familiar with the Debian packaging process, this being said I would be happy that mumudvb stays in debian. So I want to trust you and follow your suggestions, what is, for you the best course of action?
