WHY?
Unfortunately, yes, of this month - dspam has already been excluded from the testing distribution for a few months, but will now be removed entirely as the package is neglected by the current maintainers.

I think I know the Debian packaging quite well, but I haven't yet had to maintain such a huge set of packages, hence someone with strong Debian packaging experience would be great, as well as someone who knows C and SQL better than I do (well, I almost know nothing about C). Last but not least, a real Debian Developer is required to check and upload the package to the official archive (at least, the first time, but I would prefer a real DD to be part of the team). You are already doing a lot when by answering to my various questions, and making DSPAM possible, I could not have been able to produce these packages (even if not perfect, I think they are usable) without your work.
