To answer the questions: a) it is present but I havn't updated it in a while (busy). Wouter Verhelst has offered to take over the package but he's new to packaging so things are taking a bit of time. b) nope - I havn't done a virtual "latest" package yet, there is a bug about it I think (or Wouter suggested it). c) personally, I like the LG since I find the issues useful - I found useful articles in all the ones I read. Unfortuantely since I left uni I havn't been sufficiently bored to remember to download and read them (and hence to package them). d) I was hoping the "data" section of Debian would get into policy so I could move the packages there and out of main.
