Public bug reported:
The package is effectively orphaned in Debian and Ubuntu. Debian package
maintainer Jens Peter Secher retired in since July 2011 (see
https://nm.debian.org/public/person/jps). In December 2012 the package
was removed from Debian unstable because of "looking abandoned and has
multiple problems".
Package has low popcon so Debian developers decide not to support it any
further. I'm trying to update the package to a new upstream version 1.97
in my bazaar branch, but there is a need to update Debian patches for a
new version. I'm not PAM expert, and it's hard for me to decide if some
patch was superseded by upstream changes or not. Also I'm afrait to
introduce severe security bugs because of lack of knowledge.
Currently, package is in works for me state, but it is updated to
upstream version 1.97 and all debian patches on top of 1.92 disabled
because of conflicts. Brach uploaded to launchpad, and packages for
precise available in my PPA. Unfortunatelly, I don't have enough free
time to become package maintainer, sorry.
