I don't do stray "upload", but I can offer to help maintain the package 
if you wish.  To be most effective (I am involved in more than 100+ 
packages) I will want to use CDBS for the packaging, and avoid the 
short-form of debhelper v7.

Is it ok that I get more involved: switch from abbrev. dh7 to CDBS and 
then (obviously) release?


Kind regards,
