We, the MIA team, would like to know if there's real chances of this stagnation to be fixed on your side as soon as this week, as it seems not much has happened since René contacted you back in June. Otherwise it's better just to orphan the package and/or put it under team maintenance as Vincent suggests. If you cannot do it, please let us know, and we will take care of orphaning (we'll do anyway if you don't answer before next weekend). regards and thanks for your work, -- Ricardo Mones, on behalf of the Debian/QA MIA team ~ Never send a human to do a machine's job.
