Actually, Roman is still the buildd admin for kullervo. That doesn't
mean he's terribly active, but he's still involved.

I would pick up the package if I had an atari, which I don't.

It seems clear that the package has already been orphaned; filing a bug
against wnpp for it is merely a formality.  ISTR that Roman is not
actively involved in m68k development anymore, so it wouldn't surprise
me that he's not taking an interest in this package.

Bug 70132 (on atari-fdisk)

2003-09-08 Thread Gunnar Wolf
This is a very old FTBFS bug (28 Aug 2000), which was closed in 23 Aug
2003 and reopened in 3 Sep 2003. After this, Frank Lichtenheld comments:

I agree with Frank. This is quite an old bug, I also managed to build it
correctly with debhelper. I think this should be brought to
debian-devel. Does anyone object orphaning this package? Is anyone
willing to adopt it? It is a base package, priority required for m68k,
and otherosfs priority: extra for all other architectures.
