you either need to file a RFP (Request For Packaging) or an ITP (Intend To
Package) bug. In the former case you just ask the project in general that
somebody please start packaging TranscriberAG. No guarantee that this happens
(maybe you can contact the previous Transcriber maintainer(s) and ask them,
whether they'd be interested in packaging TranscriberAG).
In the latter case you'd become the new maintainer of TranscriberAG and package
it for Debian. Any questions regarding how to package something for Debian are
either answered already by the documents listed under [0] (not all will apply to
your case) or you can ask at [1]

Oh please don't send these standard disclaimers, especially not, when you're
contacting a public mailing list.

Kind regards,

TranscriberAG: successor of Transcriber as a Debian/Ubuntu package

[bastien . busson]

Dear ftpmasters, package developers and maintainers,

The Transcriber package (http://packages.qa.debian.org/t/transcriber.html) 
was removed last year.
The reasons were:
Please remove transcriber:
- orphaned for more than 3.5 years, last maintainer upload in 2005
- dead upstream (last release from 2005, according to the sourceforce page 
a complete rewrite was planned in 2008)
- minimal popcon
source : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=595993

TranscriberAG (http://transag.sourceforge.net) is the successor of 
Transcriber and has been released as an open source software (GPLv3) last 
July.
Compilation as is was successful under Ubuntu 10.4 and 10.10 and went okay 
with a patch under Ubuntu 11.04 (information available here: 
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=4E35D2B5.4020104%40vista.se&forum_name=transag-general).

We would be very pleased to see a TranscriberAG package be part of the 
repositories as many people, especially from the research community, hope 
after the removal of the Transcriber package.

Please feel free to contact me (bus...@users.sourceforge.net) should you 
require any further information.

Thank you very much and I'm looking forward to hearing back from you.

Best regards,

Bastien Busson
