I contacted upstream when this bug was filed originally, and he doesn't
have time to work on porting the applet it until GNOME 3 is in testing.
I tried to port the applet when GNOME 3 hit unstable on October 15, but
was unable to overcome the problems that GNOME 3 introduced on my
desktop and had to switch to XFCE.

I tried to get 2.0.16 uploaded in the middle of May 2011 (that would
have closed all the open bugs at the time, including the, then only,
RC-bug), but could not find a sponsor due to the imminent inclusion of
GNOME 3 in Debian.

Well, the other RC bug, filed on May 3 2011, would have been closed
within 11 days had GNOME 3 not blocked my finding a sponsor.

Anyway, I just wanted to clarify these points - I see no way to avoid
removing bubblemon from Debian; so be it.
Thanks for looking into this.
Best regards,
Adam
