Thanks! 

Looks like the package has some problems rebuilding cleanly (which is what I
usually do just to make sure such errors are caught). I'd welcome if you
could coordinate with the current maintainer to get the package into better
shape yet I have some doubts that this should be done in NMUs.

I've now built the package (only once) so that it actually contains only the
debdiff you've already sent to the bug and uploaded to DELAYED/1.

Not regarding the NMU. Thanks!

I am neither the previous mantainer not the person seeking
sponsorship, but I wholeheartedly support an upload of Taxbird.
Taxbird is a software that needs to be updated yearly to be usable,
and the last upload of taxbird was in February 2002. Taxbird is
unuseable to file tax declarations at the moment since it lacks 2011
support.

See #619734, which has, however, recently seen Maintainer Activity,
where the Maintainer has indicated on May 10 that "uploading to
unstable will also be done in a few days."  Cc: ing this bug report.

Greetings
Marc
