If Carlos is MIA then this package should be (at the very least), 
orphaned. I made an upload that added myself as a co-maintainer two years
ago but no longer have access to an environment where I could test it[1].

This version of tac-plus is the reference implementation released by
Cisco and has been unmaintained upstream since 2000. The Debian package 
also includes a number of questionable patches gathered from various 
places, and in general is in pretty bad shape. If no one steps forward,
I believe it should be removed from the archive prior to the release of
Lenny.

Anyone considering adoption should consider basing the package off the
fork available at: http://www.shrubbery.net/tac_plus/

[1] I should have removed myself as co-maintainer a long time ago to
reflect reality.
