Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request assistance with maintaining the dsniff package.
In this moment, upstream is preparing a new version in python[1] (the current 
is in C) and its look like he do not maintain this one anymore. In the other 
hand, the current application has important problems[2]. Use to be a very 
popular package[3] and I think that should be maintained until upstream 
release the new version.

I'm looking for people who wants to fix it and help to package it with me.
