Is there really no interest in doing anything about it? There aren't any rdepends and it doesn't need anything that is not in saucy already to work... I don't know anything about packaging, or I would put it into a ppa myself, but as it is, I'm kind of stuck...

There has been a new version of EasyTag out since February 2013. There is an outstanding bug in both Ubuntu and Debian (Ubuntu one here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/easytag/+bug/1198450) about this, but no action has been taken on either side. Source found here http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/easytag/2.1/ .

So, I finally bit the bullet and tried compiling it in saucy. It worked, after I applied a somewhat hackish patch to remove strict checking for declaration-after-statement errors (patch attached), and installed intltool, which is a new build-dep. After that it compiled, and worked as far as I could tell. I didn't perform extensive testing though.

Of the patches in debian/patches, fix_segfault_loading_tags_from_txt.patch and fix-out-of-bound.patch have been applied upstream, taglib.patch is no longer needed as what it did was make EasyTag use taglib instead of libmp4v2. Upstream is now using taglib as well.

So yeah, it works. Please upload it to the archive.
