Hmm. I'm instinctively reluctant to prop up dlocate if the current maintainer isn't taking care of it and it needs deeper work. On the other hand, if it is mature and we simply need to maintain the status quo, then perhaps propping up is all it needs. Put less gently I suppose the question is: does dlocate deserve its place in Wheezy and just needs this little tidying up, or should we consider removing it?
