Speaking of which -- we're having a passing of the baton. Erik (who is CC'ed) will take over Debian maintenance of afio with the next release, or the next bug fix. Erik is a regular and heavy user of afio, and I think he will do a nice job. That said, I would like to thank you for the all the help you have given me over the last nine years -- it sure made maintaining afio a breeze. I'll still be around, and expect to be using afio under Debian for a long time.
