No. At the moment it doesn't make much sense to keep uml-utilities in the archive. Even if/when UML is re-added, it should be considered whether uml-utilities are all that useful. > PS: I'm trying to bring back user-mode-linux back into the archive.

I'd like to say that I'm trying too, but effectively I have a lot of ideas but very little time to go after them. Specifically, the biggest problem I had with the previous packaging was that it required too much maintenance burden. UML should be one of the artifacts created by the regular Debian kernel builds. -- mattia :wq!
