I'd upload it myself, but since I'm not a DD, I cannot. It could still
be team-maintained in pkg-multimedia.

As for DDs: alessio at debian.org or umlaeute at debian.org, we have even more
in the multimedia team.

What about the original ptpd maintainer?

Package: ptpd
Version: 2.3.0-dfsg-1
Maintainer: Roland Stigge <stigge at antcom.de>

pkg-multimedia-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org is correct.

For those less familiar with contemporary audio hardware: PTP is the
foundation of low-latency audio-over-IP. Every recent AoIP protocol
uses it, and so does AES67, a standard that people finally agreed on to
replace the many competing AoIP protocols out there.
