Yeah, SF seems to be having email trouble.  It's that (1) link in August
-- but it's currently broken.  I waited 5 hours for it to correctly post
before tagging this bug "forwarded", and it never did, so I just linked
to the whole archive.

Haven't tried, but did get a reply from someone on pysparse-developers
which he didn't post to the list:

So upstream should be good now.

Okay, and with the squeeze freeze on the way, I'll try to get to this
sooner rather than later.

Or, since I'm no longer a user of this package, feel free to change the
Maintainer to pkg-scicomp or something similar, with me and you as
Uploaders, and upload yourself...
