Not yet, but I will. > Also, would you consider targeting experimental?

So, I see no issues with that. Dependencies haven't changed (apart from sphinx and the font package), the python3 package has the same dependencies as the python2 package, and I don't see how it would impact other packages badly. I was reminded of pygame being old and not having a python3 package yesterday, and as I said on IRC, rumour has it the release team might with a very small chance let it through. Pygame is a very important package in education, for example at Teckids, so I wanted to at least try. Again, I do not see negative influence, whether it migrates or not. >Unless you already have a sponsor, I can take a closer look and >sponsor your package if you'd like? Well, I do have a sponsor, but apparently, he failed to correctly re-sign my prepared files yesterday ;). Will get him to re-upload today. I do think the changes really make the package fit for sid or even stable.
