Hello,
I think that this package is unsuitable to be released in squeeze.
The source package is 6 years old (2004-04-10), but there's a 0.12 release
just a month later [1] which was not packaged for Debian, even if new Debian
packages were uploaded after 0.12 had been released upstream. It's listed
as pre-alpha software and didn't have an upstream release in the last 6
years.
There's only one bug report upstream, not fixed and not acknowledged nor
closed [2]. Debian bug reports include #349897 (as old as Jan 2006) which
related the impossibility to use the program due to a segfault when starting
it, and it was confirmed by other person. It also includes #345180, a
whishlist bug providing swedish PO translation, which was not acknowleged.
In the end, no bugs reported to Debian since ~2005 were attended at all, the
maintainer never reacted to any of them.
The last upload of the package is a NMU from 2005 fixing a FTBFS, which the
maintainer never acknowleged. There are multiple lintian errors too,
including creating menus in the wrong sections, ancient libtools and
standards version, deprecated debhelper compatibility version.
The binary program that this program packages lacks any kind of
documentation, nor manpage, nor even a simple explanation in a dialog box.
The documentation in the website includes only instructions to build it, not
to use it in any way.
For all of this and unless the package is updated, I think that it's not
suitable to be released in Squeeze.
