Bacula (specially 1.38.x is much better... hopefully you'll be delighted)

I have offered John co-maintenance recently.
I previously declined very 'consistent' offers to adopt/take over
Bacula, and offered co-maintenance instead.
One of the main reasons: i have quite good relations with upstream
(almost made them move main development to Debian -- will try again
soon) and understand our user's problems quite well. Additionally, quite
a lot of users have already contacted me.

You would be more than welcome... specially if you are any good with
Postgres. I know that the current postinst could be better (was
contributed and can't say much)
Some work a much needed dbconfig-common migration would be very
interesting, too (i don't feel i have resources enough to tackle that on
my own)

I couldn't be happier if that happened. We have a bit less than 3 months
(until Etch freezes) to get all of this in shape. Any other volunteers?
