Thanks for having contacted me, I opened that ITP a long time ago, and I add the package ready, but never uploaded it as it was considered a duplicate of wavsplit. Anyway I still think that wavbreaker is a different beast, as it has a GUI. If you have started working on wavbreaker again please go on, if you need a sponsor for the uplaod I would be glad to do that. It would also suggest the package to be included in Debian Multimedia project, as it is listed as one of the packages to work on: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/DevelopPackaging Practically this means setting the Maintainer to Debian Multimedia Team <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and including the actual maintainers in Uploaders. We are also using SVN to track the package sources and be able to collaborate working on them (exspecially for mentored packages): http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/demudi/ This would help the package to gain more visibility and attention, all upload notices and bug reports are forwarded to the debian-multimedia mailing list, and people can see what's going on (pretty much as with debian-boot or debian-kernel). >> >>This is a patched version of the original 0.7 release by Timothy D.

If you can please keep also the patch file(s) in debian/patches, instead of merging them in the diff.gz. This helps merging them back if new versions of the original wavbreaker get released (it's probably unlikely, but you never know).
