Incomplete in what respect? I do not consider software incomplete just
because of their (low) version number.

I (the maintainer of the Debian package) do not agree with that. The
last upstream version was released three years ago and I did not have
much reason to upload a new revision.

I've got a patch ready to port fusedav to a newer version of neon [1]. I
asked upstream for a comment about that and inclusion in his tree, but I
did not get an answer so far and then lost track of it (it worked for me
and so there was no reason to change that -- so far). I will upload a
new version shortly which will include this patch.

Also, please note that fusedav currently has a popcon of 339. This is
not a lot but still, imho, it's not completely insignificant.

This packages does look more promising and it might make sense to
migrate to in the long run. Anyway, I don't see a reason for a hard
transition. Possibly, fusedav could print a message telling the user
that it has been deprecated and pointing to davfs2. I'm gonna talk to
the upstream maintainer about that.

Cheers,
Sebastian
