I haven't contacted the previous maintainer because he orphaned the package long before it was removed (citing changed interests) and because he is hardly active in Debian anymore. Since upstream now offers LLVM and its own code generator as backends in addition to GCC and I want to package all of these, packaging requirements have changed considerably so most of it will be new. Is there anything else I forgot to address?
