I've forwarded a note to the Debian package maintainer notifying him of the availability of this updated release. After a certain amount of time without a release, it is easy not to notice when something like this happens. The Debian package says that the sources came from: ftp://jurix.jura.uni-sb.de/pub/linux/source/system/daemons/mingetty-0.9.4.tar.gz but that host does not appear to run an FTP server anymore. :-) -- - mdz
