Thanks, I occasionally take a look there, too.

Not much progress, though.

It is not rebuildable in sid anywhere, due to breakage in glade 480764
(block in bts already added)

build-system breakage, uses a special strange build-system on top of
cmake that suddenly seems to simply break instead of to give a "not
found" back if optional stuff is not installed. Even after working
around this by installing  python2.5-dev and  libx11-dev it still
failed to build at some later point.
