Argh... my bad I didn't see it.

My idea was another "QA upload"; as you can read in the (now) ITA I
don't want to become maintainer.

No, I'm not...

:)

Still, you're de-orphaning a package with a high popcon, I think it
won't be too hard to find one in address@hidden ...

My changelog is quite similar in a number of things (this is even more
sad, since the duplication of work was almost total)...
if you want to see my work
git clone git://pietrobattiston.it/denemo_deb
will give you know the updated work.

I think that the only things you may find useful are the 2 patches: the
one that changes the default audio driver (see the other discussion) and
the one that changes default apps, because it now does it in what seems
to me the best way, by patching /etc/denemo/denemo.conf.

(also, s/splited/split when you talk about multible binaries)

I'm frankly happy to leave over the packaging work to you, still feel
free to ping me for any problem... in private, since I will presumably
unsubscribe from the denemo mailing list (when the parallel discussion
ends).

Pietro

P.S: could you give me any pointer for "debian/README.source deleted,
because with 3.0 (quilt) this file is not needed"?
