Thanks for the ping.  I haven't had a chance to test it, but if it
behaves as described earlier here then (with the appropriate policy) I
think it would DTWT.

I will try to get around to teting it.

Regards,
Ian.

I've been in touch with Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (Cc:ed) and he's still
happy to act as maintainer.  He's currently not a DD/DM so needs
sponsorship for his packages, but that should not be problem.

The @ubuntu email address that was on the package turns out to be
outdated, and was bouncing, which is why he's been out of the loop until
now.

Cheers, Phil.

Ian, any comment about this 1.8-rc1 version with the filter policies
implemented?

Also, is there any new maintainer I should talk to regarding
integration tasks for this new version?
