My plan is to keep the package alive. I dislike its successor by same author, ldm, due to its coding style - e.g. hardcoding ssh client options inside a tiny C program. I am right now preparing a new packaging release fixing all bugs against the package, including removing the watch file, acknowledging that upstream project is dead. >(I did not see you have followed up any open bug reports on this >package.

Please note that none of the bugreports are security-related.
