pwlib/opal

[Eugen Dedu]

Dear Mark,

I asked for these packages about 5 weeks ago, about 3 weeks ago I 
received an account and put the debian files (which have always worked), 
and now the future of these packages is still uncertain: will they ever 
be uploaded?  I do not need "one thought", I need to hear "Everything is 
fine now, I will upload it right now" or "Please do (1), (2) and (3) and 
I will upload it right after".

Opal's get-orig-source should be ok, it's similar to ptlib's.

ekiga has just gotten out the beta.  I feel like ptlib/opal upload will 
"miss the train".  Sincerly, I have not thought it will take SO much 
time for a package I really checked and maintain since months (I spent 
30-50 full hours to create them).  I understand you are busy, it's 
normal to be busy, but I do not still see why so much time is needed: 
one hour or two is maybe sufficient to end this story; it's not about 
creating debian files from scratch, it's only checking that debian files 
which have worked for several months for me have flaws from debian point 
of view.

Kind regards,
Eugen
