I will be 'coming up to speed' for quite a while so please keep that in
mind.  Kaffe support is important to the kind of community that Debian
attracts.  I am still trying to sort out the CVS mechanism used by the
previous package maintainer.  There is enough tradional homework to
keep me busy for a while, so I hope these issues are resolved by the
time my ignorance subsides ;-)
