Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: isdnutils

Unfortunately, activity in ISDN related packages is slow to put it
mildly.  Debian upstream seems to be missing for about three years now.
I'd like to suggest to replace the capi20 directory in the source code
with the new work done by Jan-Michael Brummer.  He modularized the code
and added a few features.  The code is backward compatible and necessary
for new applications like ffgtk.  Code development is supported by the
AVM company, a reputable German hardware manufacturer very active behind
ISDN related code development in Linux.

https://www.isdn4linux.de/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/isdn4k-utils/capi20.new/

The isdn4utils project has already accepted the code, the old capi20
code is stale.  The code has also been shipping in OpenSuse for a few
months.  Jan-Michael tells me there very few errors reported and they
were all minor, related to compilation issues. I've made a package in my
PPA which can serve as a test ground.  It demonstrates the changes I am
requesting here.  Let us know if there are any questions or things that
need consideration and discussion.

We're also pushing for a new upstream release, but given the slow nature
of development it's not clear when that can actually happen.
