This is unfortunate.  I've been trying to find some time to bring this
beast back to life, and had some good starts, but I've been tied up
recently with the whole mpi-defaults -> MPICH2 and PETSc/SLEPc/HDF5
transition so it has been on the back burner.  Maybe it's time for me to
just accept defeat. :-(

I did update the alioth repository to a new upstream, and someone
(Christophe Trophime?) started to port some of the patches, but that was
months ago.  I guess if we want it to go in again we'll need to do a new
ITP?

Hopefully this will get back in soon with sufficient quality to release
with wheezy...
