Hi Michael, its a bit sad that you did not responded to two RC bug reports since January this year and we are now past the point of allowed transitions. Since the package fits into the scope of the Debian Science team I wonder whether you might consider team maintenance of this package. If I do not hear from you I assume that you agree to this suggestion and I'll use dgit to create a packaging Git repository to simplify the work of the Debian Science team members fixing these bugs.
Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
