you can always fork the current packaging and upload/NMU it. Send patches to the BTS or open an issue in github, pointing to your fork. Its up to the maintainer then to figure out on how to integrate your patches and up to them to fight their CLA/lawyers to accept your changes. Or they'll have to remove your changes and do the same work again... whatever works. -- Bernd Zeimetz Debian GNU/Linux Developer http://bzed.de http://www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: ECA1 E3F2 8E11 2432 D485 DD95 EB36 171A 6FF9 435F
