Thanks.

This version only works on Muck OS X.  The Debian package is based on
the GNUstep port made some time ago; the changes are substantial and not
at all trivial.  So unless you come up with a patch or someone from the
Debian GNUstep team finds time and motivation to do the porting work,
this bug is "wontfix", regretfully.

It has always been the official one, but we are explicitly refering to
the page of the GNUstep port because that is where we took the source
from.  That page points to the official page, so I think it's fair.

Do you have any connection with the upstream developers, BTW?  The main
author is not interested in GNUstep, IIRC, and the GNUstep porter did
not reply to any of my messages...

No, these fields are not for the upstream source but for the VCS where
the package is mainained in Debian.  Once we import it in our Arch
repository at Alioth, the appopriate Vcs-Arch* will be added.
