I'm the new package maintainer of ddrescue and gddrescue.

I'm not sure whether dd_rhelp is really worth a package within
Debian. Nowadays gddrescue (the GNU ddrescue version) supports
resuming from canceled executions and I think that's one of the
major reasons why dd_rescue was interesting in the early days.

I have a working package of dd_rhelp available though:

  http://git.grml.org/?p=dd-rhelp.git
  http://deb.grml.org/pool/main/d/dd-rhelp/

If there are any proponents out there with a good argument
why dd_rhelp should become part of Debian I'd take over ITP
and official maintenance of the package.

If there isn't any feedback within the next few weeks I'll
consider closing this bugreport.

thx && regards,
