We work togheter with aspects about this soft, I'm currently developing some parts that I consider needs to let it being included on next release (some of them are even Debian-specific). Moreover, if in any case I don't finish this pieces, I'd request to keep it out of Lenny. The ETA I estimate for this pieces would take place aprox on the middle of your schedule, so this will only make my work more difficult, as I think I would need more than one upload. > > If you intent to upload yourself, please notify me so that I interrupt > the process on my side.
