Hi,
may be I also forward this question to OSGeoLive list: Is there any
interest from OSGeoLive so we might care for it in Debian GIS or is it
here unused (unknown?) as well so that we can safely drop it?
Kind regards
Andreas.

Is this package orphaned again [1] ? I have never heard about such tool. I was
trying to find some information on web and it seems that this project was
started somewhere before 1998 [2] and it is not developed anymore.
