In the event that this package, indeed, orphaned (as the maintainer hasn't touched it himself since 2006), I'm throwing my hat into the ring to maintain it.
I contacted debian-devel to ask if they knew better than I about his absence, and after muddling it, he eventually got CCed, so we'll see if/when I hear back. - Rich -- Everything will be just tickety-boo today. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
