Sometimes life forces us to do some choices.
I hope you'll continue to have fun and do a good job for your current  
occupation.

I guess the withdraw from Debian is now definitive.

We have to organise ourselves to still get Caudium easily accessible.
Has someone enough Debian background to handle the package? Should we  
set up an unofficial repository or getting into backports and  
unstable would be sufficient?

I'm not sure i'd like to take the maintainership on the package, but  
as a Debian user, i'll be very happy to help.

So long, and thanks for all the packages!
