I have no particular interest in libdbi myself, I only did its packaging
because I am maintaining libapache2-mod-log-sql which has a dependency
for libdbi. I don't even use it myself, which makes me a very bad
tester. That being said, this is the only library that I maintain, and I
have technical interest in maintaining a library (I want to make sure
I'm up-to-date with knowledge of it). What packages are you using that
also use libdbi?

Maybe we could work together on it then, and make you the official
maintainer of libdbi, while I'll be doing only sponsorship, and continue
to learn. If you want to do this way, then I can push an RFA, you'll
adopt the package, and we'll maintain together. Does this sounds like a
good plan for you?

I didn't now rrdtool was making use of libdbi. Can you explain to me
when it does?

Well, I didn't even have time to review your patch yet! :)
