Based on that description, I will probably set this on the back burner and circle back to it when I have cleaned up the package, which I expect to take a couple of years at a minimum. From what it sounds like, this would entail reverting to shipping a separate maildrop package, which was dropped because of issues that were considered too difficult to fix. It will probably take a significant amount of effort to review what those problems were and to consider how to resolve them. -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
