Looking for a Debian maintainer to update Xpad to 4.8

I see, I'm ccing Julien Lavergne who kept it up-to-date until vivid, and maybe he wants to update it to 4.8.

Since almost all the Debian bugs are already fixed in 4.8 (I think only one bug is still ongoing, but not fixed), I propose the following workflow:

- wait for Julien to provide his feedback
- wait for him to upload 4.8 in Ubuntu (or to ack/nack the upload)
- ask him if he want to NMU the package in Debian too

we can fix Ubuntu now, fix Debian later and then sync again, or fix Debian and sync it in Ubuntu right after.
the delta seem to be useless, so I guess a plain sync is possible.

Julien, what is your opinion?

thanks

Gianfranco
