is sawfish maintained on ubuntu?

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sawfish/+bug/433358

means that sawfish is a lot less usable that it could be. I see that
this mailing list is listed as the maintainer while there was a
specific debian maintainer.

Why is there a specific ubuntu package if it's not going to be
maintained? Can I just install the debian version? Or was some
essential change made for ubuntu?
