I've uploaded the package to my personal repository (ping me on IRC for the
URL, as it will change) so that my usual sponsor can check it out. My
packaging is available in Git[0].

There are still three outstanding issues:
 
 * It modifies RPATH
 * Some unnecessary linking (dpkg-shlipdeps errors)
 * It doesn't build the JPL extension (see #449437)

However, I feel that just getting a new package into the Debian is primary
goal here. It will be of a superior quality to the current one, and JPL
extension will result in another binary package (and thus some time in NEW).

The only other outstanding issue is that I am not the current maintainer of
this package. Many months ago, Gerado mailed me and generously gave me
permission to become co-maintainer, as well promising an imminent upload. The
latter has not been forthcoming, and the upload I have prepared thus lists me
as the sole "new" maintainer.

I'm not exactly sure what to do in this position. I am equally enthusiastic
about adopting this package by myself as well as co-maintaining it with
Gerado but he appears to be seriously MIA.
