I do indeed not have much time (unfortunately) to maintain gdebi in debian.

If you could do the update to the current version and notify me (via mail or on irc as "mvo" on irc.freenode.net) then I can review/upload this new version to debian. It great that you plan to work on this, having a new version in debian is ertainly good (especially since the latest gdebi comes with some nice improvements like the ability to display the file and control files content.
