I thought so too, but then life kicked in:  I am currently doing a
late-in-life bachelor, and that swallows all my focus in waves of time.

So no, apology not accepted, because that was on me ;-)

That sounds great!

Correct: I added a "Breaks:" hint in newest libell* package, against
older releases of libmptcpd* - which seems to be what you are asking 
for confirmation on.

I don't do sponsoring - because I find it awkward how exactly the
responsibility is then split.

What I prefer instead is long-term collaboration: Would you like to
have me on board as a co-maintainer of the mptcpd package in Debian?

I have zero experience with mptcp as a protocol, but have glanced at it
curiously over the years.  I also have no experience with the codebase
of the mptpd project.  What I can offer is experience with packaging,
and - as you've noticed already - trust and access to releasing final
packages to Debian.
