I assume you've tried to contact Christoph, asking for his blessing
for you to take it over, or for him and yourself to work together on
fixing the problems?
I see that he is active and posted to <debian-devel> a few days ago.
I would bless you to take it over, but you need to give it at *least*
three weeks for Christoph to reply. Otherwise you are package
hijacking!
Could you do NMUs (with diffs to the BTS and all that) for a few
critical bugs for slink, perhaps? Or even just for potato.
