Problem. Its called New Maintainer Application. Well, I am the one in 
charge for htdig on the debian side (but still rely on sponsored uploads 
to get it into the archive). Hence my Problem.

Currently in Sarge is 3.2.0b5-4. Unstable has -5. Both rely on the 
official 3.2.0b5 (ie. version of last december).

My repository of htdig versions is at

http://users.linuxbourg.ch/ribnitz/debian

Those versions are built on i386 (Sarge)

However, given the following bugs:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=244867 (extremely slow 
indexing -> unoptimised htdig, important bug)

and

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=242807 (bad 
interpretation of robots.txt, Release Critical bug)

I am not sure htdig 3.2.0b5 will be ready for inclusion in debian Sarge 
(preparatives for freezing right now). The 3.1.6 Version on the other 
hand is very old and has quite a few (also RC) issues, that seem to have 
been fixed in the 3.2.0 branch.

For me to feel comfortable, I'd like to see all bugs of severity 
important (or higher) solved. For this reason I'd suggest branching from 
cvs on a given date, building a package with the currenlty ipmlemented 
set of features. (3.2.0rc1?)
