Hello dear members of the Debian-Multimedia packaging team,

I am interested in adopting supercollider. Would someone be interested
in working with me on this? (I am not yet an uploader) My Alioth
username is alexandrequessy.
Should I fill a ITP bug? I didn't see its name in the orphaned
packages. It has been orphaned in 2008-2009. See bug #454257.
Quick link: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=454257

The package can currently be found on github.com/aalex/debian-supercollider:

The usual location of the upstream tarballs is:
http://sf.net/supercollider/SuperCollider-(.*)\-Source-linux\.tar\.gz

I believe this software should go in non-free, since it unfortunately
contains at least one proprietary file. See debian/copyright for more
info. (search for the keyword "Apple") Maybe we could patch it to
remove those files, though.
