I've taken a look at the bug logs and I'm very disappointed with the maintainer's lack of engagement. There seem to be a lot of people who are interested in helping maintain this package.
Would any of the keen people we see involved in this bug report consider contesting the maintainership of the package ? The Committee has the power in s6.1(2) of the Constitution to Decide ... who should be the maintainer for a package but of course only when developers disagree. Jesus, you write to Sebastien: In a previous conversation with me you pointed out that there are others downloaders that a user can decide to select, but failing to depend on at least one of the ones provided as a package by Debian renders the package unusable. Which is not acceptable. Can we see that conversation ? Are the emails archived anywhere ? The control file at the moment says: Recommends: curl, wget which is definitely wrong since at most one of these is used. Sebastien, what is your opinion of Mike O'Connor's patch ?
