I have mutilated the slime package of Sean Champ with the current CVS HEAD of slime, changed the version number to something without epoch and I'm actually pretty happy with it.
The moral problem now is to upload it, or not. There is a dire need for slime in debian and the package seems to work correctly. The problem is that the packager seems unresponsive to email already for quite a while and I don't want to hijack his package. Should I just bite the bullet and upload or wait a little more... Sigh.

Hi
I use this one:
deb http://commonwerx.org/software/contrib/slime/deb ./
for both, Sid & Sarge.
Anyway, would be cooler when Debian itself has his own.

Those are the packages I want to use.
How about uploading slime to unstable and offering the original packager to take over package maintenance whenever he wants (possibly with you as sponsor)?
I would not consider this "hijacking" or impolite.
