it's not a false alarm.  It's a very much an ongoing story (last
update 3 days ago had a mention of bringing a lawyer into the
picture).  More details can be seen in some posts on their developper

I'm personally still looking for an alternative;  MondoRescue still
fits all my needs for backup on my home machine, but I wouldn't mind
looking into alternatives at this point.

In the meantime, relatively recent Mondo/Mindi deb files are available
both from Debian and from Ubuntu's Hoary Universe.
