Package: wnpp
Severity: important

I intend to orphan debconf after sarge is released. I had hoped to have
the time to maintain it while we were transitioning over to cdebconf,
but the cdebconf transition is taking longer than I had hoped. Since I'd
prefer to devote what small amount of spare time and energy I have to
making that transition happen, rather than fixing some of the worse architectural problems in debconf, it would be better if debconf had a
real maintainer.

Please carefully look over the bugs, make sure you can understand
debconf's rather strange OO perl implementation, and *talk to me* before
taking over maintenance of this package.

I'd also be willing to consider co-mantenance, especially if I didn't
have to do most of the work. :-)

I nobody steps up to do this, at best I'll continue to maintain the
package in the basic maintenence mode it's been in for a while, and it's unlikely that the following debconf bugs will ever get fixed: 50595,
101800, 142944, 164396, 169868, 179865, 189026, 192889, 193694, 198297,
199722, 201703, 218182, 223039, 224400, 232296, 244972, 247134, 251417,
260189, 265286, 201431, 214916, 243219, 46250, 58980, 59870, 67097,
86817, 98611, 126752, 126753, 134191, 167177, 202059, 205095, 224154,
249119, 257704, 258021, 265355. Of these, most are fairly unimportant
except to their submitters; the biggest debconf bugs are the still
mostly unexplained occasional debconf db corruption, and the screwy and problimatic to daemons fd redirection stuff.
