Well. That's part of the problem. The version you refer to is Peter's,

Having that said, I'd take the package together with bigon and bring it
in shape based on upstream's code base - and in cooperation with Simon,
the upstream author.

Also thanks to the members of the tech-ctte to find the right words even
