Hi 林博仁,

I discovered your intent to package bug (Debian Bug #869785) and your RFS bug 
recently.

Since it was submitted back in July 2017, is there any progress for woeusb? In 
the RFS bug, you didn't upload the source package onto mentors.d.o thus the 
RFS bug was closed. If you are still going to package woeusb, please provide 
with a valid source package on mentors.debian.net and ask for review again by 
reopening that bug.

To avoid inactive ITP/RFS bugs from blocking the contribution from other 
person, I will convert this ITP bug into RFP bug 14 days later if there's no 
reply.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

 - why is this package useful/relevant?

   It allows debian users to create USB Windows installer easily without
resorting to a Windows machine.

 - is it a dependency for another package?

   Nope.

 - do you use it?

   Yes.  This application is often needed for re-installing collegue/family
member's Win
 - if there are other packages providing similar functionality, how does it
compare?

   It's possible to achive the same goal by meddling with `parted`, `grub` etc,
however this requires advanced knowlege to disk partitioning and OS
bootstrapping.

 - how do you plan to maintain it?

   As I am one of the upstream developers the debianization of this package
will be simultaneously maintained in the upstream codebase.  The changes
specifically required by Debian may be maintained in a separated branch or code
repository.
