just for wording nitpicking: with "apt" repositories you probably refer to
the Debian package repositories. "apt" ist just the most popular frontend for
managing software on debian-based systems.

Regarding "won't be updated": Romain simply clarified, that he will not
actively participate in the maintainance of the Debian package.
Obviously it is always preferable if upstream developers like him are involved
in packaging. But the overwhelming majority of Debian packages is maintained by
Debian Developers and Debian Maintainers and not upstream developers. Thus I am
not worried that there will be further package updates.

If anyone of you wants to participate in the packaging, I encourage you to take
a look at the Debian Maintainer procedure ([1]). This takes much less effort
that becoming a Debian Developer and it would surely be a great help for
liquidsoap since a well maintained and up-to-date Debian package would
obviously reduce the amount of mailing list support significantly :)

Cheers,
Lars
