Hi Simon and Peter,

could you please enlighten us a bit regarding the state of dma in
Debian. Looks like, Peter actively maintains it (at least for some bugs)
but does not seem to be interested to upgrade the Debian package to a
new version. This is, at least, how it looks, given you didn't upgrade
it in over two years, while Simon keeps releasing new versions in github.

On the other hand there seems to be some patch exchange between you two,
and the Debian package carries lots of patches which seem to have ended
up upstream as well.

That said, I am not sure what you two consider upstream:

* http://devel.ringlet.net/mail/dma/
* https://github.com/corecode/dma
* https://gitorious.org/dma

To me it looks like Peter maintains a private set of patches to dma as
of 2010, which diverged to Simon's branch.

Could you please tell us, what's going on here? As it looks to me, the
situation regarding Debian does not look ideal.
