The upstream repository is relatively active, but there hasn't been an official DOSBox release in 7 years and apart for a couple of bugs like this one this program works just fine, so maintaining it shouldn't take a lot of time. However I don't really have much interest to maintain DOSBox at the moment, but thanks anyway for considering me. I don't even use the program that much, I was just annoyed by this particular bug and wanted to fix it once and for all. Anyway, I just updated the fixed package to DELAYED/5, it should hit the repositories by the end of the week. I updated the changelog message slightly, but otherwise the debdiff is the same I uploaded in comment #35. Berto
