 Luca, can you please reconsider?


 should we try again to get faac into Debian?

 Dear folks,
 ...

IMHO, yes, we should try...
Some other software would benefit from it,
e. g. Dream (a software Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM), see ITP wnpp bug#691685) 
can use it for transmitting purposes.

By the way, Lucas Nussbaum lu...@debian.org is the current DPL 
lea...@debian.org,
so we should probably use another address to contact Stefano Zacchiroli 
z...@debian.org ;)


Best wishes, Bob

Good question, but honestly I don't know the answer.

Let's play the ball over to ftp-master.
