Hi Sandro,

It does, but a considerable part of the functionality is missing.

Which is not possible due to policy.

Please reread the points stated there. 
        Have you clearly expressed your intention to NMU, at least in the BTS? 
If that didn't generate any feedback, it might also be a good idea to try to 
contact the maintainer by other means (email to the maintainer addresses or 
private email, IRC).

and
        When doing an NMU, you must first make sure that your intention to NMU 
is clear. Then, you must send a patch with the differences between the current 
package and your proposed NMU to the BTS. The nmudiff script in the devscripts 
package might be helpful.

Anyway.

So what need is there to hurry then if there are no rdepends besides
calibre, which is py2 and thus needs the py2 version of it.

Thanks
