One month does not seem like a lot of turnaround time for this. Does this package have an active maintainer? I'm willing to look into updating this and providing a patch, but I might need some handholding on the process side. (I'm familiar with casual site-local usage of debuild, but I do not currently have a PGP key I can readily sign anything with)
This would be my first time contributing more than bug reports. I'd imagine this package does see some use, as it's currently the only good way to hook Dropbox into the Mate desktop without dragging a whole lot of gnome3 components along for the ride. Regards, Paul Bransford
