People do come back after prolonged absences, but your point is taken.

That sounds like a good idea to me. I've inserted the below in the
manpage:
: WARNING
: This script is intended to use under the assumption that the develop-
: ment version of strips.defs is the latest and best. Unfortunately, at
: the time of this writing (August, 2007) upstream development seems to
: have ceased, so using this script will likely result in a more out-of-
: date strips definiton than is included in the distribution.
and the below in the README.debian:
: WARNING: As upstream development seems to have ceased, the strips.defs
: included in this package is likely superior to the one on the development
: site. If upstream is ever active again, you may want to follow the
: directions below.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Rene
