Hi, (resending my request from Apr 1st) if someone has some time to kill, I'd like to revive[1] libdumbnet (O/ITA #474128). The last maintainer (i.e. non-NMU, non-QA) upload was in XI/2003. No use looking at interdiffs/ debdiffs of the dsc, this one is made from scratch[2]. Upstream is dormant

recent version uploaded no matter what the upstream status is. nmap even uses its own embedded copy of the library. Quite. That sounds like a bug in nmap, looks like it hasn't been filed yet, please file one. nmap also looks like it could use a new maintainer too. Well, nmap has applied
