Hi Oliver, it seems Bastien has lost interest in this package. It just popped up in my sentinel of packages that are in the focus of Debian Med but not uploaded for a long time. If you have no idea how to maintain a package I'd consider a "Mentoring of the Month"[1] for Debian Science.
Kind regards Andreas. [1] https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMed/MoM -- http://fam-tille.de
