Dear Ohura-san
some time ago I asked about uncrompessing docs, see below email.
In fact, in preparation for post-wheezy, I would like to ask
for updates of the latex-beamer class, too. It has seen already a lot
of revisions and we will release wheezy with a quite outdated
version. 3.10 was released in 2010, and since then quite some
things have been fixed.
I have already prepared locally a git repository ready for
git-buildpackage that imports the last Debian release, plus
packages the new 3.24 release.
Please let me know what you think about this package and your future
plans, and if I can be of any help, don't hesitate to ask. I would
also be glad if we take over latex-beamer into the Debian TeX group
and continue maintaining it together.
All the best
Norbert
