Hi,

sorry for not coming back earlier. I've replied to some people on IRC
but that answer did not make it to the list so far :-/

I was going to work on the package last weekend but then did not get to
it because of other packaging work. I'm hoping to get to work on it this

Thanks for your efforts,
Sebastian
