I contacted the maintainer a week ago and I didn't get any replies. Please note that for the previous update (v3.5.0), I didn't have any replies from the official maintainer even after one year, see ticket #983310. Also, I didn't notified the MIA like I did last time because I guess there is no need to insist but feel free to tell me if this is still needed. The last version in Debian is the v3.5.0 while the latest upstream one -- v3.7.0 -- has been one month ago, a few months after the v3.6.0. This lib is used by a bunch of apps to communicate with the Linux kernel. The 3.7.0 version adds some new features but it also fixes bugs. libnl devs don't seem to maintain any stable branches for this project. This packages has a few lintian issues but if I'm not mistaken, no new ones compared to the previous version. Because it is a NMU and the situation is unclear with the official maintainer, these old lintian issues have not been addressed. Thank you for your help and your contributions to Debian!
